Aimed not at investors but the ignorant. Apparently not know about IRA and such means you 'don't have access' now.

Apparently have to make less than 191K to qualify and once the balance hits 15K, it gets moved to an IRA

Yeah,

Participants could save up to $15,000, for a maximum of 30 years, in their accounts before transferring their balances to a private-sector Roth IRA.


Was confusing to me. Is it saying you can contribute up to $15K a year for 30 years, or is it saying that for 30 years you can contribute up to $15K, then you have to transfer it?

To me, if all you can contribute is $15K, it is a glorified money market account. To call something a "retirement" account, then only let investors contribute $15K seems a little absurd.
