All Self Advocates!!
The Able ACT, When enacted into law, will give us and our families the ability to save for the future just like every other American family. Currently, Barriers for Employment, Independent living, and ultimately, Economic Self-Sufficiency, exist because individuals with down syndrome and other disabilities must reply on services like Medicated and Supplemental Security income (SSI) proved, however, to qualify for these services individuals with down syndrome may not have more than $ 2,000 in assets, and earn no more than $674in a monthly income.
the ABLE Act will eliminate barriers to work and to save by preventing dollars saved through Able accounts from counting against an individuals eligibility for any federal benefits program. The Legislation also contains Medicaid fraud protection against abuse and medicaid pay-back provision when the beneficiary passes away.
The Able act has been endorsed by over 50 national disability, religious, and nonprofit organizations. By Co-Sponsoring and passing the Able Act, you will more individuals with a disability and their families the ability to save for their Child's Potential Future just like every other American family!
