This session will be held in conjunction with the NCVSCPA annual chapter meeting. We will start promptly at noon to elect our 2024-2025 Board Members. This should be approximately 10-15 minutes. The session begins immediately following the annual meeting and will run the normal 60 minutes for 1 CPE credit.
 



The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act offers more than eight million Americans with disabilities and their families the ability to establish a tax-advantaged ABLE savings account without fear of losing eligibility for certain public benefits, including Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

Attend this session to separate fact from fiction and understand how ABLE accounts work. We’ll review ABLE basics and provide updates on Virginia’s direct-sold ABLEnow program and advisor-sold ABLEAmerica program.

Learning objectives:

  1. Increase knowledge of the components of ABLE accounts and how they can support the financial needs of individuals with disabilities and their families

  2. Understand the current status of ABLE accounts and opportunities to maximize their benefits

  3. Incorporate ABLE accounts into your planning to enhance quality of life related to employment, education and community integration in both the short and long term.
