WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Diana Harshbarger introduced H.R. 9010, the Universal Savings Account (USA) Act with Reps. Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Andy Ogles (R-TN), August Pfluger (R-TX), and Derrick Van Orden (R-WI). This legislation will allow Americans to build their own financial security through a single, simple, and flexible savings account –where they can contribute up to $10,000 per year of post-tax income. In doing so, their earnings can grow, and withdrawals can be made at any time WITHOUT having to pay even more taxes.
