Please share this invitation with your community to help spread the word about ABLE Accounts.
NAST hosts the only national working alliance for all Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Programs, called the ABLE Savings Plans Network (ASPN). ASPN is a working alliance of state ABLE program administrators and industry stakeholders substantively coordinating on industry issues, advocacy, and outreach. Additionally, the National Association of State Treasurers Foundation launched ABLE today which supports national outreach for ABLE Programs, directly engages the disability community, and provides resources on ABLE Accounts.
Together, ASPN and ABLE today work to empower individuals with disabilities toward more independent and secure futures by offering tools and resources on the benefits of ABLE accounts. ABLE Accounts can be used for disability-related expenses, without losing access to federal means-tested benefits.
