Arizona ABLE Accounts
(Achieving a Better Life Experience)
How will they affect your loved one living with a disability?
Presented by SilverTree Special Needs Planning
|
|
|
Join us at an informative workshop to learn how the Arizona ABLE program will open up life improving opportunities for people with disabilities and their families. Until recently, individuals receiving federal benefits have been restricted in the amount of money they can save, potentially keeping them in poverty and preventing them from planning for the future. For many people with disabilities, the fear of losing critical public benefits, coupled with the high cost of support, has limited them from building financial security and participating in the workforce.
This workshop will explain how to use these very important accounts and how to integrate them with other planning tools to protect your loved one's quality of life.
Two opportunities to attend!
