Ouray Chamber Businesses: The Ouray Chamber has been asked by the Colorado Department of the Treasury, through the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade (OEDIT), to share the following information with our business members.

In case you are not aware, state law requires employers with 5+ employees and no sponsored retirement plan to participate in the Colorado SecureSavings Program. Up to now, they have not been strictly enforcing the state mandate, but as we understand it, enforcement is now active and the Treasury Department will be sending letters in the mail to businesses who are not in compliance.

So we are happy to help keep you in the know! We will post this information on the Member News page of our Ouray Chamber website as well.

About the Colorado SecureSavings Program: “The program is simple, has no employer fees, and offers a valuable savings benefit to your employees through easy payroll contributions.” For more information, visit the Colorado SecureSavings Program website.

Here are some resources provided by OEDIT to help you get started if necessary:

Employer Fact Sheet
Employer Fact Sheet (Spanish)
CSSP Registration Checklist
Frequently Asked Questions

There are also resources available on the CSSP website to help savers as well.

Please direct any questions to Anthony Baker, Outreach Speciaist with the Colorado Department of the Treasury.
