ABLE Savings Flexibility: Employers Can Contribute Instead of Retirement Plans.

This law allows employees with disabilities who have ABLE accounts to redirect employer contributions from retirement plans directly into their ABLE savings. The primary goal is to enable these individuals to save for the future without jeopardizing their eligibility for vital federal benefits like SSI or Medicaid. This change provides greater financial flexibility and security for working individuals with disabilities.
Key points
Eligible ABLE individuals can elect to have employer retirement contributions (e.g., 401(k) match) deposited into their ABLE account instead of the retirement plan.
This protects individuals with disabilities from losing federal benefits, as ABLE account funds generally do not count toward asset limits.
Employers can deduct these contributions as compensation, and retirement plans maintain compliance with non-discrimination rules.
