ABLE Accounts: A Financial Planning Tool for Individuals with Disabilities and their Families, Dec. 9, 2020

November 30th, 2020

December 9, 2020, 4-5:30 pm – Online workshop

Families of individuals with disabilities are invited to participate in an online workshop about the benefits of ABLE accounts and how they can help in preparing for the future. Kelly Nelson from Maryland ABLE will share an overview of how ABLE accounts can help people with disabilities and their families to save and invest for the future without jeopardizing federal, state, and local benefits such as SSI and Medicaid. Topics will include tax-advantaged savings and investment options as well as how to use the ABLE account to pay for qualified disability-related expenses. Join us to learn about the eligibility criteria, enrollment process, features of a Maryland ABLE account and the account management process.

Kelly Nelson, Outreach and Communications Manager for Maryland ABLE, has worked in the field of disabilities for more than 30 years. She has served in many roles supporting people with disabilities and their families through advocacy, education, and connecting them to vital resources within their community.
