FAQ
In the absence of any federal laws requiring that employers offer retirement plans, a growing number of states are passing legislation mandating that businesses provide these types of benefits for employees.
Generally, no. 401k are employer sponsored plans. The exception is the so-called solo 401k, which you can open if you are self employed (and report the income to the IRS, etc.) IRAs are individually driven, and you can open an IRA without an employer. However, they require earned income.
Today, 20 states have active state-run retirement programs. Most programs have mandates requiring businesses to enroll employees in the state-run program or provide their own privately run 401(k) plan; a few states have voluntary programs or marketplaces.

Current rule: As of June 30, 2022, California requires employers with five or more employees, to offer a retirement savings plan. Plan details: Employers may choose an independent retirement plan administrator, or participate in California's state-run plan. You can read more in our guide to the Calsavers mandate.
To qualify for a Solo 401(k), you must be self-employed or own a small business with no employees other than a spouse. But you don't need to be a full-time freelancer or business owner to qualify. You can own a Solo 401(k) even with part-time self-employment income, provided that other eligibility requirements are met.
