Summary of Bill S 4911

Bill 118 s 4911, also known as the ABLE to Work Act, is a proposed amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that would allow employers to contribute to Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts for their employees in place of traditional retirement plan contributions. ABLE accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families to save for disability-related expenses.

Additionally, it would give employers the opportunity to support their employees in a unique and impactful way.
