ABLE NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER: Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota Launch ABLE Programs
Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota recently launched programs for ABLE accounts (accounts that allow people with disabilities to have a savings account without jeopardizing their benefits). Iowa's program is called "IAble," Minnesota's is called "Minnesota ABLE Plan," and it's known as "Illinois ABLE" in Illinois. Accounts can be used for disability-related expenses that will increase and/or maintain a person's health, independence, or quality of life. All three programs are open to residents nationwide.
