Announcing the 2023 iOme Challenge Winners!

Congratulations to this year’s iOme Challenge winners Benjamin Ault, Hans-Jacob Larsen Nesheim, and Douglas Lamdin (faculty advisor) from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. They received a $5,000 prize and presented their essay at WISER’s forum in June. Read the winning essay.
The iOme (I OWE ME) Challenge is a national student competition that encourages students to analyze the current state of retirement policy in the U.S. and propose viable policy solutions to meet the needs of their generation. Each year, student teams from across the U.S. respond to the annual iOme Challenge question in a 5,000-word essay.

The Benefit U Project
The goal of the Benefit U project is to better understand independent workers’ needs and priorities and to test an easy-to-use fintech solution to meet their benefit needs.
With support from the Financial Health Network, WISER has built upon the Benefit U Project’s work and piloted an approach to expand financial education and access to benefits while also leveraging the reach of local nonprofits that serve independent workers in specific sectors.
