Markell
unveils Delaware Consumer Tool Chest
 Delaware
State Treasurer Jack Markell asked Public
Works
to design a Consumer
Tool Chest filled with financial security tools to inform
and empower older Delawareans about products like reverse
mortgages, how to keep track of pensions, tips for creating
a retirement strategy, and information on when to make withdrawals
from retirement accounts.
In addition,
the tool chest contains a Financial Health Resources Directory
to save consumers time tracking down state and federal agencies
and organizations; information on the Most Common Billing
Mistakes, and a Fall-Proof Safety Check and a Home Injury
Safety Check that can be used to survey and fall-proof the
home. Treasurer Markell unveiled the Consumer Tool Chest in
Spring of 2006 in co-sponsorship with AARP of Delaware. Since
that time, thousands of Consumer Tool Chests have been requested
in hard copy and downloaded from the State Treasurer’s
website.
