OneMain Financial Announces Support for Florida's New

Financial Education Requirements

NEW YORK - March 30, 2022 -OneMain Financial,the leader in offering nonprime customers responsible access to credit, today expressed its support for Florida's new financial education law, SB 1054. The company's financial capability curriculum, Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial, is designed to help students meet financial education requirements like SB 1054. The new law, which will go into effect for the 2023-2024 school year, requires high school students to complete a half-credit personal finance course in order to graduate.

Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial is currently active in 40 Florida schools and has reached more than 2,400 students in Florida to date.

"Our Credit Worthy program was designed to equip high school students with core skills to set the foundation for a successful financial future," said Paola Garcia Abbo, OneMain's Head of Corporate Social Responsibility. "Florida, along with many other states, recognizes the importance of providing its citizens with a strong foundation to succeed in understanding credit and managing finances. We care deeply about helping Florida students get started with a strong financial education and look forward to doing even more in the years to come."

The passage of SB 1054 comes at a time when more states across the country are requiring students to take financial education courses, and Florida is the largest state so far to pass this type of legislation. Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial covers financial basics, entrepreneurship, preparing for college or careers after high school, how to use, manage and build credit and much more. The program was created through a strategic partnership with EVERFI, a leading social impact education innovator.
