The Delaware EARNS was created to encourage more people to save for retirement. It requires Delaware employers with 5 or more employees to provide access to a retirement plan. The plan can either be a private plan like a 401(k) or the state-sponsored plan.
For companies with 5+ employees, the deadline is October 15, 2024.
You are eligible to participate in the Delaware EARNS Program if:
Yes. All of Guideline's 401(k) plans are designed to satisfy state program requirements and are priced to be affordable for businesses of all sizes.
While it is possible for a plan to convert from a Starter 401(k) to a standard 401(k) plan at Guideline, the transition cannot take place until the beginning of the next calendar year. Learn more here.
