Schmidt committed to co-leading bipartisan legislation that would expand ABLE savings accounts by creating a federal match for eligible low- and moderate-income savers with disabilities.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

The release also indicates the bill remained pending in committee rather than enacted.

GovInfo lists S. 4492, the ABLE MATCH Act, as introduced in the Senate on May 12, 2026, read twice and referred to the Senate Finance Committee. The full title is to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide matching payments for ABLE account contributions by certain individuals.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official Senate companion record confirms the substance of the ABLE MATCH proposal: matching payments for ABLE account contributions. It also shows the companion measure was still at the introduced/referral stage, so the statutory matching program itself was not proven enacted by this record.

The promise was framed as co-leading and supporting the ABLE MATCH Act, not securing final enactment of the matching-payment program. During Schmidt's current House term, his office announced that he joined Rep. Debbie Dingell as a co-lead of the bipartisan ABLE MATCH Act, which matches the promised federal legislative action and policy substance. The bill appears to remain pending rather than enacted, so this should not be treated as delivery of the underlying federal matching program itself, but it does satisfy the specific co-lead/support commitment.
