Significant Asset Building Policy Nears the Finish Line; Congress Needs to Hear From You!
In August, Republican and Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee unanimously voted to move forward on a meaningful and generous asset-building bill. For people with disabilities and all in the asset-building field, passage of the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act would be a significant victory. The bill would allow people with disabilities to save without fear of losing public benefits.
Contact your Representative and Senators and tell them to support the ABLE Act!
Background on the ABLE Act:
If enacted, the ABLE Act would create a new tax-free “ABLE” account, treated much like existing 529 college savings plans, allowing people with disabilities and their families to save money to cover qualified disability-related expenses, such as education, housing, transportation, employment support, health and other miscellaneous expenses. The ABLE Act also would exclude the first $100,000 saved in an ABLE account from asset limits for all federally-funded public benefit programs.
