Gig workers and other independent contractors are typically on their own when it comes to their financial well-being, but a new partnership is helping them plan for the future with access to retirement benefits.

Workers have access to a match program for IRA contributions, as well as additional personalized financial support through GreenPath Financial Wellness, a financial education nonprofit.
