Join us for ABLE Events in March!
Since the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act passed in December 2014, 18 states have launched ABLE programs, allowing certain people with disabilities to open tax-advantaged savings accounts. Even more states plan to launch programs in 2017.
The Ticket to Work (Ticket) program is pleased to host two events in March to answer your questions about ABLE accounts.
Join us for our free national Work Incentives Seminar Event (WISE) webinar on March 22, 2017 and a Twitter chat with the ABLE National Resource Center on March 24, 2017!
