3-4pm
Services for People with Disabilities (SFPD) presents a free Community Education Workshop
ABLE Accounts: Benefits of Having One and How They Work.
ABLE accounts can offer individuals with disabilities a path toward greater financial independence by providing an ability to plan, save, and spend money on services, products, and education while preserving their benefits (eg: Medicaid, SSI, SSDI).
Join us as presenter Rosemary Laudani from the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office answers these and many other questions:
- Who is eligible to own an Illinois ABLE account?
- Will I lose SSI, SSDI or Medicaid if I have an Illinois ABLE account?
- What do I need to know about owning and contributing to an Illinois ABLE account?
- Can I work if I have an ABLE account?
This event is free and open to the public. Continuing education credits are available for QIDP's. Sessions may be recorded.
Online registration is required or contact Kathryn Dougherty at 773.765.3158 to register. You will receive a Zoom link to participate via email the day prior to the session.
