New York Secure Choice is a completely voluntary retirement program. Saving through a Roth IRA will not be appropriate for all individuals. Employer facilitation of New York Secure Choice should not be considered an endorsement or recommendation by your employer of New York Secure Choice, Roth IRAs, or the investment options offered in the program.
