DQ #4 Explain the US Government Thrift Savings Plans. Solution The US Government Thrift Savings Plans is a defined-contribution plan designed to give federal employees the same retirement savings related benefits which will be equal to that of workers in the private sector enjoy with 401(k) plans. Contributions to these plans are automatically deducted from each paycheck of federal employees. The thrift savings plan offers six different funds (government security fund, fixed-income fund, common stock fund, small cap stock fund, international stock fund and a life cycle fund) in which federal employees can invest. Because the thrift savings plan is based on tax-deferred contributions, any contributions made into it will not be taxed until the money is withdrawn, which can be deferred until retirement. Other Benefits of these US Government Thrift Savings Plans includes 1) agency matching contributions 2) agency automatic contributions 3) catch up contributions and 4) low expense ratios. .

Types of Pensions
Employment-based pensions
A retirement plan is an arrangement to provide people with an income during retirement when
they are no longer earning a steady income from employment. Often retirement plans require
both the employer and employee to contribute money to a fund during their employment in order
to receive defined benefits upon retirement. It is a tax deferred savings vehicle that allows for the
tax-free accumulation of a fund for later use as a retirement income. Funding can be provided in
other ways, such as from labor unions, government agencies, or self-funded schemes. Pension
plans are therefore a form of \"deferred compensation\"
Social and state pensions
Many countries have created funds for their citizens and residents to provide income when they
retire (or in some cases become disabled). Typically this requires payments throughout the
citizen\'s working life in order to qualify for benefits later on. A basic state pension is a
\"contribution based\" benefit, and depends on an individual\'s contribution history. For
examples, see National Insurance in the UK, or Social Security in the United States of America.
Many countries have also put in place a \"social pension\". These are regular, tax-funded non-
contributory cash transfers paid to older people. Over 80 countries have social pensions.[4] Some
are universal benefits, given to all older people regardless of income, assets or employment
record. Examples of universal pensions include Zealand Superannuationand the Basic
Retirement Pension of Mauritius Most social pensions, though, are means-tested, such as
Supplemental Security Income in the United States of America or the \"older person\'s grant\" in
South Africa.
Disability pensions
Some pension plans will provide for members in the event they suffer a disability. This may take
the form of early entry into a retirement plan for a disabled member below the normal retirement
age.
Benefits
Retirement plans may be classified as defined benefit or defined contribution according to how
the benefits are determined.[8] A defined benefit plan guarantees a certain payout at retirement,
according to a fixed formula which usually depends on the member\'s salary and the number of
years\' membership in the plan. A defined contribution plan will provide a payout at retirement
that is dependent upon the amount of money contributed and the performance o.

Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits are funds set aside to provide people with an income or pension when they
end their careers. Retirement plans fit into two general categories:
In defined benefit plans (sometimes called pension plans), the benefit amount is pre-determined
based on salary and the years of service. In these plans, the employer bears the risk of the
investment.
In defined contribution plans (such as a 401k plan), employer or employee contributions are
specified, but the benefit amount is usually tied to investment returns, which are not guaranteed.
Minnesota Facts:
Most full-time workers in Minnesota are offered access to retirement benefits. Sixty-four
percent are offered a defined contribution. Only 15.6 percent are offered a defined benefit
program.
Defined benefit plans are offered most frequently in those sectors with the highest levels of
unionization. These include public administration, construction, manufacturing, and trade,
transportation, and utilities.
Life and AD&D
Most employers design their plans with a provision to protect the employee and/or their family
in the event of Accidental Death or Dismemberment (AD&D). Employers often provide basic
coverage as a factor of the employee.
The Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) is part of the social .docx
The Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) is part of the social security program planned by the federal government to provide economic security for workers and their families. Employers and employees pay a tax that is credited to a "Federal Old-Age and Survivor's Trust Fund" and the "Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund." These fund will assist those in retirement, those who are stricken with a disability, and families in tragic circumstances where the financial provider for the family dies leaving dependents that need economic assistance.
We are all aware of the concept of social security related to retirement. We meet an age criteria determined by the government and can apply to receive retirement benefits from the federal government. Those benefits are based on a formula of what you and your employers have paid into the fund and the age you elect to start receiving the benefit. Note: this benefit is until death.
In recent years there has been a proposal that the individual should have control over investing the monies that will become their retirement plan. A separate fund would be established and based upon the investments made by the worker they will build a fund that they can draw upon when they retire. This would eliminate all or a portion of the government payment outside of the individual fund.
What do you think?
Should individuals be allowed to establish their own investment accounts for retirement, or should the program remain the same?
Who should pay the fees to manage the individual investment accounts? It is known that the social security management systems is one of the most efficient federal programs paying a fraction of the fees common to individual investors.
What should be done with funds that are established but lose money? Do we need a government plan for those that retire with lost earnings? Or, what about those who work at very low wages and could not accumulate a large enough retirement account to survive on?
What about funds that exhaust themselves prior to the death of the recipient? Social Security is until death. Would we need yet another program to make up for extended life spans?
Do you like the current plan, the proposed privatization, or do you have another idea?

Describe the most common eligibility requirements in qualified plans?
Solution
Qualified plans come in two types: defined benefit and defined contribution. Defined benefit plans give employees a guaranteed payout and place the risk on the employer to save and invest properly to meet plan liabilities. A traditional pension is an example of a defined benefit plan. Under defined contribution plans, the amount employees receive in retirement depends on how well they save and invest on their own behalf during their working years. A 401(k) plan is an example of a defined contribution plan.
Qualified plans only allow certain types of investments, which vary by plan but typically include publicly traded securities, real estate, mutual funds and money market funds. They also specify when distributions can be made, typically when the employee reaches the plan

Qualified plans that allow employees to defer a portion of their salaries into the plan also reduce employees\' present income tax liability by reducing taxable income.
These planshelp employers to attract and retain good employees.

Whether the plan makes use of a trust or is funded by employer purchased annuities, an employee is generally not taxed until the amounts are distributed or made available to him. To prohibit plan participants from using plans as a mechanism for passing wealth on to the next generation, rather than as a source of income during retirement, Internal Revenue Service regulations require plan participants to take required minimum distributions from qualified plans once they reach the required beginning date described in the regulations.
The trust must be valid under State Law and a ll beneficiaries of the trust must be individuals, and the trust must be irrevocable by its terms upon the participant\'s death.

Social security is mostly known to provide financial support to the retired workers. Social security does not only provide monetary support for the retired workers, but also for the survivors of employees that pass on before retirement. The program also provides disability compensation for employees that becomes unable to earn a living. If the employee has any dependents are eligible for this financial support. The main role of social security is to make sure that the future of an active member is secured from financial constraints that may come on his way after retirement (Young, 2010).
The program is based on contributions that active members make into the program during the working life. For someone to qualify for social security program you require a maximum of 40 credits although the extra credits that may be earned does not in any way increase the amount of benefits.

Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) by TSI
Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) Plans are quickly gaining popularity across industries as a less costly alternative to severance. The IRS approved Plan structure works to simultaneously maintain the income of displaced employees while also generating significant savings for the organization compared to traditional severance, typically 30-45%. This presentation gives a general overview of how a SUB Plan is structured and administered, and demonstrates two examples of real savings achieved by organizations that switched from traditional severance to SUB.

Describe the principles of fee-for-service plans and managed care plans. What are the similarities and differences?
I want you to discuss and answer this question and to help you to do so I will upload a PowerPoint file helping you to answer this question.
Here are two of the classmates responses to this question read it and try to connect their responses to your answer and discussion.
Gabrielle
Fee-for-service plans (FSS) and managed care plans are both classes of insurance programs. In fee-for-service plans, the doctors and hospitals get paid for the service that they perform and test that they order. This plan provides protection against health care expenses in the form of a cash benefit that is paid to the insurer or directly to the health care provider after the employee has received health care services. However under this plan, the insurance company determines a deductible for the patient to pay and then they are responsible for the remainder of the amount. Under managed care plans, the plans emphasize cost control by limiting the patient’s choice of doctors and hospitals that they can use. The plan provides a list of physicians and hospitals that the plan holder can use at a reduced price.
These plans are both similar because they offer a reduced price for medical and health coverage. Some differences between the two include how a patient can choose a physician or hospital. Under FSS, you can see a physician whenever you want or feel necessary. However, under managed care, when you see only the physicians that are affiliated with the plan, they then receive a strong financial incentive.
Trevor
The principles of a fee-for-service plan include a health insurance programs that that use cash benefits in order to help protect employees of an organization from expense that come from health care. Some things that are covered by this are physician charges, hospital expenses, and surgical expenses. One type of these service plans are indemnity plans. These plans are when the insurance company and the employer have a contract that specifically covers certain expenses. The next type of these plans are self-funded plans. These plans are when a company pays benefits from their own assets. Managed care plans control costs by limiting employee's decisions on doctors and hospitals. Fee-for-service plans and managed care plans are similar because they both provide health insurance for employees. Managed health care plans are more confusing because they have so many specifications, meanwhile fee-for-service plans is more basic that offers cash benefit for expenses.
until after a probationary period of at least three months so that they can prove that they are going to be great asset to the company.

A nonqualified plan can help an employer accomplish its objective of recruiting, retaining, and rewarding key employees through income tax-deferred compensation. A phantom stock plan is a popular and effective nonqualified deferred compensation plan used by employers to share value with selected key employees without relinquishing business control and decision-making powers. As a result, the employee has the ability to share in the success of the company without capital investment or shareholder liability.

This presentation gives a general overview of how a SUB Plan is structured and administered, and demonstrates two examples of real savings achieved by organizations that switched from traditional severance to SUB.

Discussion Question: (250-300 words long)
Describe the principles of fee-for-service plans and managed care plans. What are the similarities and differences?
I want you to discuss and answer this question and to help you to do so I will upload a PowerPoint file helping you to answer this question.
Here are two of the classmates responses to this question read it and try to connect their responses to your answer and discussion.
Gabrielle
Fee-for-service plans (FSS) and managed care plans are both classes of insurance programs. In fee-for-service plans, the doctors and hospitals get paid for the service that they perform and test that they order. This plan provides protection against health care expenses in the form of a cash benefit that is paid to the insurer or directly to the health care provider after the employee has received health care services. However under this plan, the insurance company determines a deductible for the patient to pay and then they are responsible for the remainder of the amount. Under managed care plans, the plans emphasize cost control by limiting the patient’s choice of doctors and hospitals that they can use. The plan provides a list of physicians and hospitals that the plan holder can use at a reduced price.
These plans are both similar because they offer a reduced price for medical and health coverage. Some differences between the two include how a patient can choose a physician or hospital. Under FSS, you can see a physician whenever you want or feel necessary. However, under managed care, when you see only the physicians that are affiliated with the plan, they then receive a strong financial incentive.

The principles of a fee-for-service plan include a health insurance programs that that use cash benefits in order to help protect employees of an organization from expense that come from health care. Some things that are covered by this are physician charges, hospital expenses, and surgical expenses. One type of these service plans are indemnity plans. These plans are when the insurance company and the employer have a contract that specifically covers certain expenses. The next type of these plans are self-funded plans. These plans are when a company pays benefits from their own assets. Managed care plans control costs by limiting employee's decisions on doctors and hospitals. Fee-for-service plans and managed care plans are similar because they both provide health insurance for employees. Managed health care plans are more confusing because they have so many specifications, meanwhile fee-for-service plans is more basic that offers cash benefit for expenses.
until after a probationary period of at least three months so that they can prove that they are going to be great asset to the company.

A nonqualified plan can help an employer accomplish its objective of recruiting, retaining, and rewarding key employees through income tax-deferred compensation. A phantom stock plan is a popular and effective nonqualified deferred compensation plan used by employers to share value with selected key employees without relinquishing business control and decision-making powers. As a result, the employee has the ability to share in the success of the company without capital investment or shareholder liability.

Identifying aclds and bases by their reaction with water Kri Some chemical compounds are listed in the first column of the table below. Each compound is soluble in water. Imagine that a few tenths of a mole of each compound is dissolved in a liter of water. The important chemical species that would be present in this solution are written in the second column of the table. Use the checkboxes to classify each compound. type of compound (check all that apply) important species present when dissolved in water compound strong weak strong weak acid acid basebase ionic mol KCI K CI, H,0 NH, HNO ?? NH OH NH, H20 H,o\'. C,H,0
Solution
The species that give off their H+ readily are strong acids and those who dissociate partially are called weak acids.
The species that give off OH- ions readily are strong bases and those who dissociate partially are weak bases.
The ionic compounds have ionic bonds between the ions , whereas molecular compounds do not.
So here :
KCl = ionc ,
NH3 = molecular , weak base
HNO2 = molecular , weak acid
HCl = molecular , strong acid

Identify the two primary sources of stockholders equity- and which sou.docx
Identify the two primary sources of stockholders equity, and which source would be considered to be internally generated?
Solution
Stockholders equity is built on two parts
Paid Up capital: When initially shares are issued in an IPO to the public the stockholder\'s equity has two parts i.e. face value of shares and the additional paid up capital i.e. price at which share was sold in the IPO less the face value.
Retained Earnings: Retained earnings form the second component of the Stockholder\'s equity. Each year a part of Net Income might be paid off by the company as dividend to preferred and common share holders. The amount left after paying dividends is called retained earning and is added to stock holder\'s equity.
Retianed earnings are the internally generated source of stockholder\'s equity becasue it comes from the earnings of the organization which are generated by selling products and not by accessing capital markets.

If you had a system- that had large amounts of daily data inflows- tha.docx
If you had a system, that had large amounts of daily data inflows, that you were running
queries on yearly data, how would you position Flume,Hive and Impala for this system
Solution
As we have system that have large amount of daily data inflows, and we also running queries on yearly data, in this case its important to collect and analyze the data. This collection of logs of the data is being done by Flume and Hive. This is why Flume and hive lots of importance in the system where we are dealing with large amount of data. We required to collect the logs because of following reasons:
1. In error scenario, if we have proper logs then its easy to go to the root cause of the problem.
2. These logs provides the proper picture of the system, its in\'s and out\'s of the system.
Flume is basically a opne-source software used for log collection. Its also can be used for montioring the log files, by installing it to various host machines. Hive integration can be done with Flume to get more features.
Impala is also used for data analytic\'s and its also open-source to use.

Identify at least two types of system architectures that work well in.docx
Identify at least two types of system architectures that work well in a hierarchical arrangement.
Solution
Two types of system architectures that work well in a hierarchical arrangement are
1) Centralized Architecture
=> Hierarchy is built into its system by default. All clients are connect to a centralized server, defaulting in a hierarchical setup. The applications within the server/mainframe would need to have a command structure whereby the clients would be given distributed access to the varying components of the application. This command component could simply be a protocol, but nevertheless, would sit above the rest of the structure creating an application hierarchy, as well as hardware.
2) Client/Server Architecture
=> The client/server setup where system is splitted into clients and servers. Thus server is on top distributing data as per requests from the clients below. There is a single server or a cluster of servers which services multiple clients, creating an intrinsic hierarchical architecture.

Identify and prioritize information assets. Identify and prioritize threats to information assets. Choose a company (any company that interests you) to use as your company (You may also use your personal system as your company). You will assume the role of the Chief Security Officer of the company. You will identify all of your security assets. You will then identify and prioritize the threats to those assets. See NIST Special Publication 800-26 for guidance in doing the self-assessment.
Solution
In information security, computer security and network security an Asset is any data, device, or other component of the environment that supports information-related activities. Assets generally include hardware (e.g. servers and switches), software (e.g. mission critical applications and support systems) and confidential information.Assets should be protected from illicit access, use, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and/or theft, resulting in loss to the organization.

If the Android platform you are developing for does not support fragme.docx
If the Android platform you are developing for does not support fragments, how would you go about providing fragment-like processing in you Android Application ?
Hints: Would you have multiply activities? Which UI elements (controls/widgets) would you use?
Solution
A Fragment represents a behavior or a portion of user interface in an Activity.. One big reason to stick with the SupportFragment for a while is that you do not have access to the ChildFragmentManager until API17.
Instead of creating fragments we can use by custom views for mutliple display. Let’s implementation of fragments in views. First, we’ll have the notion of a Container, which can show an item and also handle back presses.
The activity assumes there’s always a container and merely delegates the work to it.
The list is also quite trivial.
Now, the meat of the work: loading different XML layouts based on resource qualifiers.
Using custom views works great, but we would like to isolate business logic into dedicated controllers. we call those parameters. This makes the code much more readable and facilitates testing. MyDetailView could look something like this
Make your fragments shells of themselves. Pull view code up into custom view classes, and push business logic down into a presenter that knows how to interact with the custom views. Then, your fragment is nearly empty, just inflating custom views that connect themselves with presenters:
At that point you can eliminate the fragment

E 4- Elijah Samuels and Tony Winslow agreed to form a partnership- Sam.docx
E 4. Elijah Samuels and Tony Winslow agreed to form a partnership. Samuels contributed $200,000 in cash, and Winslow contributed assets with a fair market value of $400,000. The partnership, in its initial year, reported net income of $120,000. Calculate the distribution of the first year\'s income to the partners under each of the following conditions: 1. Samuels and Winslow failed to include stated ratios in the partnership agreement. 2. Samuels and Winslow agreed to share income and losses in a 3:2 ratio. 3. Samuels and Winslow agreed to share income and losses in the ratio of their original investments. 4. Samuels and Winslow agreed to share income and losses by allowing 10 percent interest on original investments and sharing any remainder equally.
Solution
1. When there is no stated ratio then profit distributed equally
Share of Samuels = 120000x1/2= 60000
Share of winslow= 120000x1/2 = 60000
2. Share of Samuels=Â Â 120000x 3/5 = 72000
Share of winslow= 120000x2/5 = 48000
3. Value of investments= Samuels (200000) + Winslow (400000)= 600000
Share of samuels = 120000x200000/600000 = 40000
Share of winslow = 120000x 400000/600000= 80000
4. Income after interest on investments = 120000- 600000x10%= 60000
Share of samuels = 60000x1/2 = 30000
Share of winslow = 60000x1/2 =30000

During a total lunar eclipse- in which the moon passes entirely into t.docx
During a total lunar eclipse, in which the moon passes entirely into the shadow of the earth as cast by the sun, the moon is not completely dark, but is often a deep red in color. The shade of red varies widely from one total eclipse to the other. Why?
1. During the sunset, the Sun transfers some red light to the moon.
2. The earth acts like a giant water drop because of its oceans, and the moon winds up
3. None of the world’s sacred holy books discuss this situation, so it must be forever a total mystery.
4. Low frequencies pass more easily through the long grazing path through the Earth’s atmosphere to be refracted finally onto the moon.
5. High frequencies pass more easily through the long grazing path through the Earth’s atmosphere to be refracted finally onto the moon.
Solution
4) Some light from the sun passes through Earth\'s atmosphere and is bent toward the moon. Low frequencies (red is having low frequency and highest wavelength) pass more easily through the long grazing path through the Earth’s atmosphere to be refracted finally onto the moon.

During 2011- Arthur Corportation reported a net income of $3-059-000-.docx
During 2011, Arthur Corportation reported a net income of $3,059,000. On January 1, Arthur had 2,800,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The company issued an additional 1,680,000 shares of common stock on October 1. In 2011, the company had a simple capital structure. During 2012, there were no transactions involving common stock, and the company reported net income of $4,032,000.
1. Determine the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding each year.
2. Compute earnings per shre for each year.
Solution
Answer :
1. weighted-average number of common shares outstanding each year.
Note :
= (3/4 * 2,800,000) +(1/4 *1,680,000) = 2,100,000 + 420,000 = 2,520,000
In year 2012 new shares are not purchased hence (Opening balance * 1) = 4,480,000
2. earnings per shre for each year
Note :
earnings per share = Net Income / Weighted Average No of outstanding shares

Driving School has 4 learning centres- The network of each learning ce.docx
Driving School has 4 learning centres. The network of each learning centre is a LAN of its own. Network Cheap is contracted to install network connections between the learning centres. Network Cheap proposed to use RIP version 2. As the CEO of Driving School, will you accept this proposal? If you do not accept the proposal, what would you use for the routing protocol? Give your reasons.
Solution
IGRP—Interior Gateway Routing Protocol , EIGRP—Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol or OSPF V2—Open Shortest Path First came to a mind but RIP V2—Routing Information Protocol is a good choice
The characteristics of RIPv2 follow:
Distance-vector protocol.
Uses UDP port 520.
Classless protocol (support for CIDR).
Supports VLSMs.
Metric is router hop count.
Maximum hop count is 15; infinite (unreachable) routes have a metric of 16.
Periodic route updates sent every 30 seconds to multicast address 224.0.0.9.
25 routes per RIP message (24 if you use authentication).
Supports authentication.
Implements split horizon with poison reverse.
Implements triggered updates.
Subnet mask included in route entry.
Administrative distance for RIPv2 is 120.
Used in small, flat networks or at the edge of larger networks.
IGRP Converges slowly infact slower than RIP and for IGRP , OSPF or EIGRP all routers must be from Cisco Systems ( big constraint)

Doris Washington recently assumed her new position as HR Director at t.docx
Doris Washington recently assumed her new position as HR Director at the XYZ Company, a software development firm with approximately 350 employees. Her staff includes a seasoned generalist as well as a benefits clerk. During her first 90 days on the job, Doris has noted the following issues that seem to be embedded in XYZ\'s culture: 1) managers create their own interview questions; 2) for some employees, their compensation is simply determined by managers, not based on training, experience, geographic region, and so on; and, 3) the company seems to draw new employees from only two sources, one is the university from which the President of the company graduated.
While Doris has been contemplating these trends, the CEO has asked her to attend a strategic planning meeting about opening the company\'s first location on in Toronto, Canada in approximately nine months. She needs to provide a recommendation to the CEO that can be used appropriately.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

DQ #4 Explain the US Government Thrift Savings Plans-SolutionThe US Go.docx
- 1. DQ #4 Explain the US Government Thrift Savings Plans. Solution The US Government Thrift Savings Plans is a defined-contribution plan designed to give federal employees the same retirement savings related benefits which will be equal to that of workers in the private sector enjoy with 401(k) plans. Contributions to these plans are automatically deducted from each paycheck of federal employees. The thrift savings plan offers six different funds (government security fund, fixed-income fund, common stock fund, small cap stock fund, international stock fund and a life cycle fund) in which federal employees can invest. Because the thrift savings plan is based on tax-deferred contributions, any contributions made into it will not be taxed until the money is withdrawn, which can be deferred until retirement. Other Benefits of these US Government Thrift Savings Plans includes 1) agency matching contributions 2) agency automatic contributions 3) catch up contributions and 4) low expense ratios.
