The ABLE Act will allow individuals with disabilities to create a
disability savings accounts or "ABLE Accounts" that would accrue
interest tax-free. The account could fund a variety of essential
expenses for the individual, including medical and dental care,
education, community based supports, employment training, assistive
technology, housing and transportation. Importantly, the
legislation prohibits amounts held by, or paid or distributed from, any
ABLE accounts from being treated as income or assets when determining
eligibility for benefits provide by any federal benefits program.
 
Asset development is one step toward improving economic
self-sufficiency, and the legislation's focus on encouraging asset
development will greatly incentivize people with disabilities to live
more productive lives through earning and saving resources for their
future. Please ask your Senators and Representatives to cosponsor this
important legislation.
