ABLE Savings Plan 101 Monthly Webinar

Presented by Oregon ABLE Savings Plan
ABLE Savings Plan 101 Monthly Webinar
Tuesday, May 16, 2023
6:00 PM 7:00 PM
Is spend down a frequent problem for you? Are you worried that if you work too much and save too much, you’ll put your benefits in jeopardy? Wish you could build a nest egg for your kid who has a disability?
The Oregon ABLE Savings Plan can help. ABLE lets people with disabilities and their families save money without getting disqualified from their state and federal benefits. Money saved in an ABLE account doesn’t count against the asset limit for benefits like SSI, Oregon Health Plan, SNAP, Section 8 and more. Plus there are tax advantages!
To qualify for ABLE, you have to meet two criteria: your disability is severe enough to qualify you for SSI/SSDI (but you don’t need to be currently receiving either) AND your disability started before the age of 26. Qualifying disabilities can include both I/DD, physical disabilities and mental health conditions.
Learn everything there is to know about the Oregon ABLE Savings Plan including who is eligible, how it works, what you can save for and more.
