ABLE: Access to Savings Webinar

Tuesday, May 23 at 1pm

Thursday, May 25 at 6pm and available to stream on demand

These webinars will be in English with live CART captioning and ASL interpretation.

Have you been thinking about opening an ABLE account but you’re not sure where to start? Join Northwest Access Fund Financial Coach & Benefits Planner Allison Falleur Barber to learn about how to set one up, why it might be useful for you, and what you can spend savings on.

This webinar explains ABLE Accounts and how they can be used to save without affecting access to SSI and/or Medicaid. SSI and Medicaid have resource limits that stop people from building savings. ABLE Accounts are a federally recognized way to save and keep SSI or Medicaid eligibility. They are open to people with disabilities whose disability began before the age of 26. Funds in ABLE Accounts can be used in many ways – join us to learn more!

This webinar will cover:

• The reasons we need to use ABLE Accounts
• Eligibility and how to open an ABLE Account
• Qualifying expenses
• Annual and lifetime contribution limits
• How to add and withdraw funds
