There are now nearly 15,000 individuals with disabilities nationwide who have opened ABLE accounts! These special tax advantaged savings/investment accounts allow qualified individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save for disability related expenses without jeopardizing their eligibility for many public benefits.  
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released guidance regarding how ABLE accounts (and ABLE funds) may impact Medicaid eligibility and the scope of supports and services provided through the Medicaid program.  This webinar aims to provide ABLE related stakeholders with a brief analysis and summary of the CMS guidance and will include a Q&A with a number of ABLE related experts representing both the disability community and the individuals responsible for administering ABLE programs.
The webinar will take place Thursday, November 9^th(1:00-2:30pm). Moderator Chris Rodriguez, Director, ABLE National Resource Center, will also be joined by a guest panel including:

• David Bell, Managing Director, Oregon ABLE Savings Plan
• Marty Ford, Senior Executive Officer, Public Policy, Arc of the United States
