Employers do not offer any type of IRA, they offer 401k plans. Many employers offer both traditional 401k plans and Roth 401k plans. You will need to check with your employer to see if they offer a Roth 401k option.

Scottrade is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects securities held by investors up to $500,000, including a maximum of $100,000 in cash claims*. A brochure with the details of SIPC protection is available at www.sipc.org There is a good chance your cash at Scottrade will be involved in the bank sweep program allowing you to pick up FDIC insurance rather than FDIC eliminating issues related to the disclaimer below. If you are unsure call your local Scottrade branch.*In order for cash to be covered by SIPC or excess SIPC, cash held in an account must be for the purpose of, or as a result of, securities transactions. Cash held in a securities account for the purpose of earning interest, which was not the result of a securities transaction, may not be covered by SIPC or excess SIPC.
My recommendation is to check out beginnersinvest.about.com as they offer many articlces about investing, including a ton of information on 401k plans. The best article to read would be the one about the five major benefits of a 401k.
Lehman Brothers' 401(k) accounts, like other retirement accounts, are generally not protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) because SIPC primarily covers brokerage accounts against the loss of cash and securities due to a firm's failure. Instead, 401(k) plans are typically protected under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). However, the specific protections can vary based on the plan's structure and the type of investments held within the account. It's advisable for former Lehman Brothers employees to consult financial advisors or legal experts for detailed guidance.
