WHAT: The Oregon ABLE Savings Plan lets people with disabilities and their families save money without being disqualified from their state and federal benefits. Critically, money saved in an ABLE account does not count against the asset limit for benefits like SSI, Oregon Health Plan, SNAP and Section 8—limits that have forced people who experience disability to stay in poverty or risk losing these supports and services that they need to survive. ABLE makes a difference. ABLE savings can be used for anything that helps improve the health, independence, and quality of life of the person with a disability. Come to this informational presentation to learn about the program and get all your questions answered. The event is free and open to the public. WHEN: Wednesday, July 24th, 5:45-7:45pm WHERE: The ARC of Lane County, Springfield Office, 4181 E Street Springfield, OR WHO: Kaellen Hessel, Advocacy and Outreach Manager, Oregon Savings Network MORE: After the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed by Congress in December of 2014, people with eligible disabilities could finally save for their everyday needs, invest in a tax-free account, and prepare for the future without losing their state or federal benefits. Launched in December 2016, the Oregon ABLE Savings Plan was established with the support of people with disabilities and those working with the disability community. We continue to collaborate with nonprofit organizations and government agencies that focus on disability issues, while our in-house support team provides intensive training to help empower beneficiaries, allowing participants the independence to take control of their financial future. We are the first ABLE program to partner with Sumday, a program manager that offers a fun, simple and intuitive online platform that helps people manage their ABLE accounts to reach their dreams.
