Description
SECURING YOUR CHOICE AND EXPANDING YOUR WORKFORCE
MN SECURE CHOICE RETIREMENT PROGRAM - All Minnesota employers with five or more employees that do not currently sponsor a retirement plan will be required to participate. Eligible employees will contribute a portion of their pay into some sort of retirement plan.
As written, the program will open on or after January 1, 2026, and roll out in phases, with the last phase opening no later than two years after the opening of the first phase. As we’ve seen with other states, program requirements become mandatory for larger businesses first and roll out to smaller businesses incrementally. Human Interest will keep you posted on upcoming deadlines as they’re announced.
EMPLOYER REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION FUNDS (ERAF) - The ERAF's purpose is to encourage employment of people with disabilities by reducing any perceived or real financial barriers. MN DEED has created a central fund where small to mid-size Minnesota employers can request reimbursement for expenses related to providing reasonable accommodations for job applicants and employees with disabilities.
