- 66.5% of bankruptcies were caused specifically by medical bills1 - $88 billion was borrowed by Americans for healthcare costs2

As healthcare costs continue to soar, employers are using high deductible health plans as a way to manage employee benefit costs.  And individuals need help saving, as many ways as possible, for future medical bills.

Effective October 1, 2021, Voya will provide employees of plan sponsors in the ABA Retirement Funds Program (“Program”) with access to the Voya Financial® (“Voya”) Health Savings Account (“HSA”) through Voya Benefits Company, LLC.

If you have a high deductible health plan, offering the Voya HSA to your employees will provide your employees who are also participants in your retirement plan with a cohesive experience – one source for tools and education resources.

Your plan participants who select the Voya HSA will have an integrated view of both their retirement account balances and their HSA balances when logging onto the Program website at abaretirement.com.

Next week, the Program will send you additional information regarding this new offering, including details on how you can offer the Voya HSA and your employees can enroll.

If you have any questions, please email us at contactus@abaretirement.com.
