What is The Colorado Secure Savings Act?
In recent years, the Colorado Secure Savings Program was created by law. This law states that businesses with five or more employees that do not already offer a retirement plan are required to participate in the Colorado SecureSavings program or offer another qualified plan like a 401(k) or SIMPLE IRA. In short, it ensures that almost a million workers who previously did not have access to a retirement savings plan at their jobs now have access to a program that helps them save for their future.
Who else can participate in this program, or a SIMPLE IRA/other retirement plan?
- Colorado workers whose employers do not offer a workplace retirement plan
- Self-employed individuals
- Other folks who want to invest in a way that can follow them throughout their careers and is not exclusively tied to their jobs.
