Mandatory Retirement Program for NY Employers Deadlines Begin in March 2026

Effective March 2026, New York’s Secure Choice Savings Program obligates private‑sector employers with ten or more New York employees and at least two years in business to either register for the state‑administered Roth IRA or certify an exemption. Registration requires using a unique access code and facilitating payroll deductions for eligible workers, but does not compel employer contributions or fiduciary duties. Employers already offering a qualified retirement plan, those with fewer than ten employees, or those operating less than two years may claim exemption. Early registration is advised to meet headcount‑based deadlines.
