Debunking 4 Myths About the New RetirePath Virginia Expansion

Myth 1: "It’s only for companies with 25+ staff."
FALSE. As of July 1, 2026, the threshold dropped to 5+ employees (including part-time team members).

Myth 2: "This is going to cost my business money."
FALSE. RetirePath is 100% free for employers. Businesses do not pay admin fees, nor do they match employee contributions.

Myth 3: "I already offer a 401(k), so I don't need to do anything."
FALSE. If you receive a state notification, you must log into RetirePathVA.com using your assigned access code to certify your plan exemption.

Myth 4: "My employees are forced to contribute."
FALSE. Participation is completely voluntary. Employees have a 30-day window to customize their savings rate or opt out entirely before deductions start.

Key Registration Deadlines:
📅 Sept 30, 2026: Businesses with 10–24 employees
📅 Oct 30, 2026: Businesses with 5–9 employees

Attention Virginia Small Business Owners: The RetirePath threshold just changed.

As of July 1, 2026, Virginia's state-facilitated retirement law expanded. The eligibility limit dropped from 25 employees to just 5 employees, including part-time workers. If your company has been open for 2+ years, has 5 or more eligible staff, and doesn't offer a qualified retirement plan, you need to act.

Roughly 35,000 businesses are receiving notices with state access codes.

Key Registration Deadlines:
📅 Sept 30, 2026: Businesses with 10–24 employees
📅 Oct 30, 2026: Businesses with 5–9 employees

What to do next: Check your mail/email for your state notification letter and unique access code. Register for RetirePath or certify an existing plan exemption at RetirePathVA.com.It’s 100% free for employers with no matching or fiduciary liability required.

Already offer a 401(k) or IRA plan? You must still use your code to certify an exemption!

Did you know the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Tax Credit is now permanent? Under Section 45S, qualifying employers can claim a federal business tax credit ranging from 12.5% to 25% on wages paid during leave.

Key enhancements make it easier than ever for businesses to save:
• Broader Eligibility: Covers employees with just 6 months of tenure and part-time staff working 20+ hours/week.
• Two Ways to Claim: Base your credit on qualifying wages paid OR insurance premiums for PFML policies.
• State Mandates Count: Leave provided under state/local mandates now helps satisfy eligibility requirements.

Whether you cover employee leave for welcoming a new child, personal illness, or family care, make sure your written policy meets IRS standards so you don't leave money on the table. Contact your Harris, Hardy, and Johnstone accountant today to review your leave policy and maximize your tax savings!
