Minnesota's Secure Choice Retirement Program requires employers doing business in Minnesota to either enroll workers in the state’s payroll‑deduction IRA program or, if the employer already offers a qualifying retirement plan (e.g., a 401(k), 403(b), SEP, or SIMPLE), to certify its exemption from that requirement by the end of the employer’s assigned registration window. All employers with 100+ covered employees must set up a Minnesota Secure Choice Employer Account by June 30, 2026, and either enroll their workers in the state’s payroll‑deduction IRA program or certify their exemption by the required date. Noncompliant employers face graduated fines of up to $500 per employee after an initial warning period.
