Nebraska lawmaker backs homemakers IRA plan
Rep. Virginia Smith co sponsors legislation to let homemakers establish individual retirement accounts. She says the bill recognizes the economic value of homemakers and counts spousal compensation as income for IRA eligibility. The change would include homemakers on farms and ranches and does not require the spouse to participate in other retirement plans. It aims to boost long term savings and private capital, aiding agriculture credit amid tight money.
