Charles Blahous Presentation for Mercatus Center SSDI Panel Mercatus Center
The Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) trust fund’s projected 2016 depletion will require Congress to act soon to prevent large, sudden benefit cuts.
Experts on both sides of the aisle have noted that a “quick fix” of simply shifting payroll taxes from Social Security’s much larger retirement trust fund (OASI) into DI, without further reform, could cost Congress its last chance to solve Social Security’s broader financing problems before it is too late. What more responsible reform options are available?
The Mercatus Center and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget hosted a discussion on May 12 on how best to respond to SSDI’s financing crisis.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

3. Pension coverage for migrant
workers
No unique model: Different options respond to specific
profile of migrant workers.
Factors:
Length of service / duration of stay in one country
Duration of stay abroad
Financing model in sending and receiving countries
Regulatory framework in sending and receiving countries
Issues:
Large number of workers uncovered, or inadequately covered
Part are legally protected by bilateral agreements, but these are
not always operational
Retirement saving instruments insufficiently developed
4. Extending Pensions for migrant
workers: Some guiding principles
Universality:
All foreign workers should have access to a pension
scheme
Portability:
Funds should be readily available when one of the
covered contingencies occurs; this would in turn entail
carrying pension rights as workers move from one
country to another
5. Extending Pensions for migrant
workers: Some guiding principles - Cont
Flexibility:
The scheme should provide protection in the event of
termination of appointment, retirement, death, disability
or transition between jobs
Cost Neutrality:
The scheme should not significantly add labor or fiscal
costs and affect competitiveness of the economy
Inclusion of existing successful programs:
The scheme should take stock of existing successful
programs and not compete with them
6. Option 1: International agreements
of totalization of services
Recommended by ILO conventions
Usually bilateral agreement between receiving and sending country
For PAYG schemes, the guiding principles are usually:
Totalization of services
Pensions calculated (and paid) as a proportion of length of service in
each country
Main problems:
not comprehensive for the universe of migrant workers in one
country
Complex administrative arrangements
Impractical when more than 2 countries are involved;
In consequence, very few workers benefit
7. Option 2: Perfect portability of
retirement savings
Characteristic of fully funded schemes
Usually bilateral agreement between receiving and sending
country is also needed
Transferring funds can be straightforward, but associated
pension rights may demand careful attention (examples:
vesting periods, associated life and disability insurance, etc.)
Main problems:
Solution works best between two fully funded schemes, but this
is quite uncommon.
8. Option 3: End of service benefits
This may take the form of:
Severance pays at the end of an appointment;
Refund of contributions at the end of appointment or when
leaving the country
Simple to manage
But…
Main problems:
In fact not a “pension”
Does not address problems of myopia
9. EOSB - Shortcomings
Bankruptcy risk of employer when there is no-
prefunding or mandatory book provisions
Potentially large liabilities in countries with economies
relying on expatriate workforce
Potential risks of low compliance from employers when
adequate enforcement mechanisms are not in place
10. Option 4: Mobility Savings
Accounts
MSA is a new mechanism designed to serve multiple
purposes of foreign workers
retiring,
transitioning between jobs or
returning to their home countries;
MSA can be used with flexibility to increase retirement
savings or to finance transition between jobs (job search).
Funds are not available at any time, but the workers can
dispose of them when different social contingencies occur;
Contingencies are defined following usual social insurance
mechanisms, but specificities are added to respond with
flexibility to international mobility of workers
11. Option 4: Mobility Savings
Accounts - cont
Adequate for countries where foreign workers are not
required to pay pension contributions
May be introduced on a mandatory or voluntary basis
Bilateral agreements between receiving and sending country
are helpful but not necessary
Main problems:
“Flexible use of funds” may leave some workers unprotected in
the old age.
An assessment of country’s enabling conditions is required
when the scheme is funded
12. Introducing MSA: Motivation
Provide an instrument of social protection for expatriate
workers
Promote economic development through enhanced
institutional financial intermediation and instruments
Better manage talent to support transition towards
higher-value added production with necessary supply of
qualified labor
Provide ability to self-sponsor transition periods
between jobs and invest in training
reduce recruitment and screening costs for prospective
employers
13. MSA - Options
Options for mandate:
Mandatory
Voluntary
Options for financing mechanism:
Insurance
SavingsAccounts
Options for administration of the system:
Centralized
Decentralized
14. Setting parameters of MSA for
foreign workers
Employers’ contributions:
Costs to employers may be minimized by replacing any existing EOSB with
equivalent employer’s contribution (cost neutrality principle)
A personal contribution from the workers should be added to the
employers’ contribution on a voluntary or mandatory basis.
Fund withdrawal options:
a) Lump sum (total) upon termination of work contract
b) Lump sum (total) upon return to home country, or transfer to another
retirement savings scheme in the home country
c) Periodic withdrawal during job search (contingent on balance in the account)
d) Annuity upon retirement.
15. Advantages of MSA
For the workers:
a) Tangible benefits
b) Less exposure to the risk of not receiving EOSB
c) Increase savings as a result of professional portfolio management
d) Finance transition between jobs, being allowed to stay in the country
depending on the accumulated balance.
For the employers:
a) Reduce cost or recruiting new staff by hiring workers who are staying in the
country in transition between jobs (currently this cost represents around 1.5
to 4.5 salaries)
b) Incentive to retain skilled workers
c) Reduce employee turnover
16. MSA- Challenges moving forward
Will the employers accept additional costs, or even the
shift from provisioning funds to paying monthly
contributions?
Will employees find enough incentives to add their
contributions to the scheme?
Is the financial sector prepared to provide an enabling
environment for the proposed reform?
