automatic enrollment

Opt-out registration system

Automatic enrollment is a system where participation begins by default unless someone actively opts out.

Most commonly describes workplace retirement plans where employees are enrolled automatically, with contributions deducted from paychecks unless they decline: The company's automatic enrollment boosted 401(k) participation to 90%.

Also applies to insurance, subscriptions, and government programs.
