Venue: Facebook Price: FREE
Looking to save for your child’s future without affecting their eligibility for government programs? CalABLE is a savings and investment plan offered by the state of California to individuals who developed a disability by age 26. Enrolled individuals can currently contribute up to $18,000 per year, and up to $100,000 total, without affecting eligibility for public disability benefits. CalABLE account owners who work can contribute even more to their accounts, and earnings are federal and state tax-free when used for qualified expenses.
As part of our summer training series, CalABLE Outreach Specialist Madeline Handy joined us to look closer at how parents of kids with disabilities can use this program to help provide for our children’s care.
