Understanding the STABLE/ABLE Account Informational Meeting

An informational meeting about STABLE/ABLE Accounts will be held on Tuesday, December 6 from 9am to noon at Crossroads Church in Mason.  (Informational Meeting Flyer)

"Starting with a general overview, this presentation will review practical uses for the ABLE account. Hear the “what” and “how” of using an ABLE account for housing, transportation, assistive technology, employment training, education, health and wellness, living expenses, and legal fees. Highlights will include the benefits and sometimes unknown ways an ABLE account can be used for qualified expenses."


What is a STABLE/ABLE Account?
     A STABLE Account is an investment account available to eligible individuals with 
     disabilities. STABLE Accounts are made possible by the federal Achieving a Better 
     Life Experience (“ABLE”) Act. STABLE Accounts allow individuals with disabilities 
     to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefits 
     programs, like Medicaid, SSI, or SSDI. Earnings in your STABLE Account are not 
     subject to federal income tax, so long as you spend them on “Qualified Disability 
     Expenses.”
