The State is Choosing Retirement Plans for NY Businesses. Here’s How You Take Back Control.
If you're a New York business owner with 10 or more employees and no retirement plan in place, you're about to get one… like it or not.
The New York Secure Choice Savings Program is a state-mandated Roth IRA plan designed for employers who haven’t yet offered retirement benefits. Once active, employers will be required to auto-enroll employees or risk penalties.
At first glance, it sounds simple:
No cost to the employer
Easy payroll deductions
Employees can opt out
But what you’renot getting is:
❌ Plan customization
❌ Employer match capabilities
❌ Investment flexibility
❌ Strategic control over plan design
In other words: you’re losing control.
Why This Matters Now
The mandate is moving toward enforcement, and ~75,000 NY businesses are still exposed. Once you're enrolled in the state plan, it's much harder to transition to a private one.
This is your moment to act first, on your terms.
