The goal of the Financial and Economic Literacy Caucus is to improve the financial literacy and economic education of all individuals across the United States during all stages of their lives.
The Caucus pursues this goal by informing Members of Congress about resources for their constituents, ensuring that Executive Branch agencies coordinate their financial literacy activites and pursue proven strategies, and by drafting and supporting legislation that furthers the goals of the Caucus.
From deciding whether to spend an allowance, to choosing a university and putting a down payment on a house, no matter what stage of life we are in, we are required to make financial decisions.
WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) and Congressman Steve Stivers (OH-15) recently introduced the Financial Literacy College Education Act, a bill that if enacted would provide colleges, universities and other high institutions of learning with the tools and information to better empower their students to make informed financial decisions.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This April, countless Americans, organizations, nonprofits and other stakeholders are marking Financial Literacy Month by raising awareness on the importance of financial literacy and promoting tools and resources to help more individuals and families develop and maintain healthy financial habits.
