About Delaware EARNS

Signed into law by Governor John Carney in 2022, Delaware EARNS will provide a convenient way for private-sector workers to save for retirement. Nearly 150,000 Delaware workers, many of them low- and middle-income, currently lack access to a workplace retirement savings plan. The EARNS program, which is expected to launch in 2025, will also help small businesses and nonprofits that lack resources to offer a 401(k) or similar retirement plan.
