Abstract: The myRA product research will be conducted to provide information to Treasury myRA program management as part of the rollout of the myRA product by Treasury Fiscal Service. This is part of an ongoing research program to support this new retirement product. The product has been named since President Obama introduced it in this year's State of the Union. It is on track to be released by early 2015. The product is intended to be introduced primarily through employer payroll deduction procedures. This study will provide precise feedback on the myRA product from an employee perspective in a manner that allows detailed ratings on receptivity, what's important to people, and will allow the projection of uptake rates.

Emergency Justfication: Research for this project is critical to provide precise feedback on the myRA product from an employee perspective in a manner that allows detailed ratings on receptivity, what's important to people, and will allow the projection of uptake rates. The new product was introduced by President Obama in this year's State of the Union and Treasury was given a compressed schedule to release the product by early 2015.
