## Summary

**Financial Literacy Month** is designated for April 2025 to raise public awareness about personal financial education and the risks of limited money knowledge. The resolution urges the Federal Government, states, localities, schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the public to observe the month with programs and activities, noting that about 4.2 percent of households, roughly 5.6 million, are unbanked and 14.2 percent, about 19 million, are underbanked, and that school-based financial education is linked to better credit outcomes and a higher likelihood of applying for financial aid.
