State retirement programs in a nutshell

In recent years, states across the country have enacted retirement savings programs to help individuals save for retirement—potentially bridging the retirement gap for as many as 41 million U.S. workers.

While the rules of each state program vary greatly, they currently all give employers the option to choose between the state-sponsored plan or a private plan, like a Guideline 401(k). Below, you’ll find information on active or pending state retirement programs.
