State Mandated Retirement Programs

Maryland’s mandated retirement plan is up and running.  Virginia’s and Delaware’s plans are not far behind. 
 
The State of Maryland now requires all private employers, with few exceptions, to provide a retirement savings vehicle for employees.  The MarylandSaves program is now active and employers that have at least one W-2 employee can expect to receive notices alerting them to sign up or obtain an exemption.
 
Delaware is expected to roll out its mandated retirement program in 2025 and Virginia is expected to do so in 2023.
