National Save for Retirement Week in 2008 will likely be October 19 to 25, said the National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators (NAGDCA).

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution approving the dates, and the association expects a similar resolution to be approved by the U.S. Senate.
