WHAT:

Secure Choice requires that Illinois businesses not offering a retirement savings plan enroll their employees in Secure Choice if they have at least 25 employees and have been in business for at least two years. The Secure Choice pilot program began this summer with a small cohort of employers and their employees already participating in the program. The official launch begins this month for employers with 500 employees or more. By July 2019, the program will expand to companies with 100 to 499 employees. Companies with 25 to 99 employees will begin enrolling in November 2019. Currently, Secure Choice has nearly 2,000 participants saving for retirement with each paycheck, with thousands more expected to begin contributions in the coming months.
