ABLE NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER: Oregon Launches ABLE Program
Oregon recently launched its program for ABLE accounts (accounts that allow people with disabilities to have a savings account without jeopardizing their benefits). In Oregon, the programs are known as "Oregon ABLE Savings Plan" (which is specifically for Oregon residents) and "ABLE for ALL Savings Plan" (which is available to people who qualify nationwide). Accounts can be used for disability-related expenses that will increase and/or maintain a person's health, independence, or quality of life.
