The ABLE Employment Flexibility Act would let employees choose to send employer 401(k)-style contributions to their ABLE account instead, an option that must be offered equally to all eligible employees. It also clarifies that employers can make direct or matching contributions to ABLE accounts, counted as if the employee made them, and directs Treasury to treat these as deductible business expenses and to require employers to notify opted-out workers of this option.
This affects working adults with disabilities who hold ABLE accounts and their employers.
The change addresses a conflict where automatic retirement contributions could jeopardize eligibility for programs like Medicaid or SSI, which limit savings.
