On June 14th, NFIB Maine State Director David Clough hosted an additional timely and informative virtual event to help members learn what to expect as the state’s new mandated retirement savings program ramps up. While a free registration was required, we’ve provided a recording of the briefing for members and our small business allies.
NFIB partnered once again with Maine’s MERIT program and its Executive Director Elizabeth “Beth” Bordowitz, who also heads the Maine Retirement Savings Board, to educate small businesses on how to comply with this mandate and to discuss the law, employer administrative duties, possible exemptions, important deadlines, and more.

On NFIB’s previous virtual event, MERIT Executive Director Beth Bordowitz wanted to be certain the following contacts and information were provided to members:
>>> Regarding a question on 401(a) plans: If an employer has a 401(a) plan, they are exempt from the program.
>>> The registration portal is: meritsaves.com (This is also where businesses register their exemption.)
>>> The customer service line for employers is (833) 608-8811 (for any employer question on registration or access codes).
>>> Executive Director Bordowitz’s contacts: [email protected] and (207) 888-4706
As always, if you need assistance or have any questions, please reach out to Grassroots Manager Julianna Rauf at [email protected] or 857-228-9978.
