NOTICE FROM THE: New York State Secure Choice Savings Program
The New York State Secure Choice Savings Program continues to expand access to retirement savings, providing an easy, automatic way for private-sector workers across New York State who do not have access to a workplace retirement plan to save for retirement through payroll deductions into their own Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
New York State employers are required to register and facilitate the program if they:
have 10 or more employees do not offer a qualified retirement plan, and have been in business for at least two years. Help your members prepare - the upcoming registration deadline for newly eligible employers is November 18, 2026.
New York Secure Choice is free and easy for employers to register and facilitate, while providing their employees the opportunity to save for the future. Employers are notified directly when it is time to register. If an employer missed a previous registration deadline, it’s not too late—they should register as soon as possible as required by New York State law.
We are happy to support your members by providing education and resources on employer responsibilities and the benefits of facilitating the program, including:
newsletter content, virtual or in-person webinars and trainings, presentations at monthly meetings or other events, and support for additional outreach and educational efforts. Attached please find the program’s employer fact sheet which provides additional information about New York Secure Choice. Please respond and let us know how we can help your members better understand their responsibilities, the upcoming deadline, and the benefits of participation in the program.
Thank you - we truly appreciate your partnership,
The New York Secure Choice Team
