Introduction to "Tax Policy and the Economy, volume 27"

I serve as a Trustee for TIAA. In addition, over the past three years, I have received compensation totaling more than $10,000 from several financial institutions, including life insurance companies, for making presentations about retirement income security. Some of these companies produce and sell long-term care insurance contracts. I have also received more than $10,000 in compensation from the American Council of Life Insurers – a trade organization representing many life insurance companies, some of which sell long-term care insurance – for writing a policy white paper on automatic lifetime income.
