This Month, We Celebrate Being #ABLEtoSave

August 8, 2017

Author: Rachel Biar, Assistant State Treasurer, Director of Enable

I am excited to announce the Enable Savings Plan is teaming up with ABLE plans across the country and the ABLE National Resource Center this August to kick off #ABLEtoSave month. We look forward to participating by spreading awareness about the ABLE Act and the Enable Savings Plan. From eligibility to enrollment, we will be sharing information to aid current and prospective account owners in utilizing an Enable account to achieve financial independence.

The ABLE Act truly has changed lives, opening up a world of opportunities that did not previously exist for the disability community. I am especially grateful for the ABLE Act-without it, the Enable Savings Plan would not exist. Since launching over a year ago, we have heard so many success stories-stories of hope and inspiration from individuals with disabilities who have gained financial independence thanks to their Enable account. It fills me with pride to reflect on all of the plan's accomplishments, which would not have been achieved without the ABLE Act.

This month, we encourage you to continue sharing your personal stories about how opening an Enable Savings account benefited you or your loved one-just reach out to us through email or by posting on Facebook with the hashtag #ABLEtoSave. Together, we can advocate for the remarkable programs that foster potential and transform it into a brighter future for individuals with disabilities.

The Enable Savings Plan (the "Plan") is sponsored by the State of Nebraska and administered by the Nebraska State Treasurer. The Plan offers a series of investment portfolios within The Nebraska Achieving a Better Life Experience Program Trust. The Plan is intended to operate as a qualified ABLE program to be used only to save for Qualified Disability Expenses, pursuant to the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 and Section 529A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Investors should consider before investing whether their home state offers any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in such state's qualified savings program and should consult their tax advisor, attorney and/or other advisor regarding their specific legal, investment or tax situation.
