Enable Savings Plan Launches New Account Bonus Program

$50 Bonus to Benefit 50 New Account Owners

Lincoln, Neb. (October 2, 2018) – First National Bank of Omaha and Nebraska State Treasurer Don Stenberg have announced the kickoff of Enable’s $50 New Account Bonus Program.

From September 25 through December 31, a $50 bonus contribution will be awarded to the first 50 eligible individuals who open and contribute a minimum of $50 to a new account. Accounts can be opened online at www.enablesavings.com or on paper and mailed to the address on the enrollment form. To claim the bonus, visit www.enablesavings.com/bonus.

“Watching individuals with disabilities achieve financial independence with the support of the Enable Savings Plan has been truly rewarding. As the positive impact of the Plan grows, we are pleased to be able to offer a bonus to help more qualifying individuals with disabilities open and manage their own Enable accounts,” said Treasurer Stenberg, Trustee of Enable.  

“Fall is the perfect time to do a financial refresh, which is why we are delighted to announce the launch of this new account bonus,” said Deborah Goodkin, Managing Director, Savings Plans, First National Bank of Omaha. “With so many benefits to Enable accounts, including tax-free savings and withdrawals at no risk to public benefits, there is no better time to open an account and begin the journey toward financial independence. I encourage qualifying individuals to take advantage of this offering and to join the strong and thriving Enable community.”   

Launched June 30, 2016, the Enable Savings Plan was one of the first national ABLE savings plans offered. Enable provides tax-free savings accounts to people with disabilities, allowing them to save without affecting their public benefits like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
