URBAN MILWAUKEE: Gov. Evers Proclaims April as “ABLE to Save” Month in Wisconsin
Governor Tony Evers has proclaimed April 2026 as “ABLE to Save” Month in Wisconsin to raise awareness for Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts, which allow individuals with disabilities to save for qualified expenses without losing eligibility for federal benefits like Medicaid or SSI. Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), the initiative emphasizes the theme “Start Small. Big Possibilities.,” highlighting how these tax-advantaged accounts can be used for education, housing, and transportation. While Wisconsin is currently working to establish its own state-specific savings plan, residents can presently utilize the ABLE National Resource Center to find information on opening accounts in other states that accept out-of-state participants.
