Recently,
the President signed the ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) Act. This will help parents of children with disabilities
to be allowed to save funds for their child without risking the loss of benefits.
How it Works
The
ABLE Act uses plans that are similar to a 529 savings plan used for college. Some families already have “special needs
trusts’ which are used in the same way.
Typically families were only allowed to have up to $2000 in assets in
their child’s name, or the child would lose eligibility for Medicaid and/or SSI
(Supplemental Security Income.) The ABLE
Act allows families to deposit up to $14,000 yearly, for a total of $100,000
savings without affecting benefits. Extended
family members, friends, and the person with a disability would also be able to
contribute funds to the plan. Income
earned by the account, and contributions to the account, would not be
taxable. The total annual contributions
to any such account are $14,000.
Who is Eligible
People
with disabilities are eligible if they have a condition that occurred prior to
age 26. In addition, the individual must meet the eligibility criteria for SSI
or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance.)
Please note that there can only be one ABLE account in the individual’s
name. It is also possible to have both a
special needs trust and an ABLE account.
Please also see the Exceptional Parent magazine link below which
discusses the interaction between ABLE and Medicaid.
What Families Need to Know-Next Steps
It is
possible that ABLE accounts could be open this year. However, states need to develop
regulations. To encourage quick action,
parents should contact the Governor in their state found at http://www.nga.org/cms/home/governors/staff-directories--contact-infor/col2-content/governors-office-addresses-and-w.html.
The
ABLE Act will prevent children with disabilities from having to live in poverty
in order to maintain benefits such as Medicaid and SSI. Now, families can save for their child’s
future.

ReplyDeleteOMG!!,I am out here to spread this good news to the entire world on how I got my ex husband back. . My name is Natasha Johnson,i live in Florida,USA,and I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with three kids. A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{bravespellcaster@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website { http://enchantedscents.tripod.com/lovespell/},if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to the Dr Brave for bringing back my husband ,and brought great joy to my family once again. { bravespellcaster@gmail.com }, Thanks..

You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga.
ReplyDeleteWhen I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until when I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me with child. He did the spell and sent me the natural herbs for fertility that I will use and immediately I used this medicine, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl. Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful girl and I am happy in my marriage. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats App number +2348167159012. Email at: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
