We realize that the initial comment period ended on September 21, 2015; however, we understand that comments are still being accepted. With several years of collective administration of ABLE programs, states have now gained operational experience that has in turn provided insight into how the Proposed Regulations can be improved. The Problem Despite 41 states and the District of Columbia offering ABLE programs, the rate of ABLE account openings has been slow industry wide. While there are many causes for this, we believe part of the problem is that not all potential ABLE account owners have a parent, guardian, or power of attorney who can or who is willing to serve as an “authorized legal representative” and assist them in opening and maintaining an account.

  • Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch Mcconnell Senate Majority
    Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator McConnell, Nearly 55 million workers across the country lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and millions more fail to take full advantage of employer-supported plans. Without access to easy and affordable retirement savings options, far too many workers are on track to retire into poverty where they will depend on Social Security, state, and federal benefit programs for their most basic retirement needs. States across the country have been innovating to address this problem. We are writing to respectfully urge you to protect the rights of states and large municipalities to implement their own, unique approaches. Last week, two resolutions of disapproval (H.J. Res 66, H.J. Res 67) were introduced to repeal key Department of Labor (US DOL) rules. If passed, these resolutions would make it more difficult for states and municipalities to seek solutions to the growing retirement savings crisis. We ask that you support the role of states as policy innovators by voting “No” on H.J. Res 66 and H.J. Res 67. Thirty states and municipalities are in the process of implementing or exploring the establishment of state-facilitated, private-sector retirement programs. Eight states have passed legislation to allow individuals to save their own earnings for retirement (no employer funds are involved as these are not defined benefit plans). While most state and municipal plans will be governed by independent boards, the day-to-day investment management and recordkeeping would not be conducted by the state, but rather by private sector firms - the same financial institutions that currently provide retirement savings products.
