Advancing financial empowerment for people with disabilities by increasing the awareness of 💰- an initiative of the NAST Foundation

October is Special Needs Law Month. 💚

Good planning is about more than paperwork. It helps protect benefits, supports decision-making and creates more options for how people live, work and participate in their communities.

ABLE accounts can be one part of that bigger picture — alongside tools like special needs trusts and public-benefit planning — assisting eligible individuals and their families in building greater financial independence and plan for the future.

The goal isn’t just protection. It’s supporting greater choice, independence and the life someone wants to live.

🤝 Great conversations, new connections, and familiar faces!

ABLE today recently teamed up with ABLE United at Stetson University College of Law’s 28th Annual National Conference on Special Needs Planning and Special Needs Trusts in Clearwater, Florida! 🌴

ABLE today’s Eric Ochmanek and ABLE United Director John Finch, Jr. welcomed attendees to our exhibitor table, sharing how ABLE accounts can play an important role in special needs financial planning. 💙💰

With more than 650 attendees, our table stayed busy! It was wonderful connecting with attorneys, trustees, financial planners, and healthcare advocates, and catching up with old friends like special needs attorney Logan Philipps.

👏 A big thank-you to everyone who stopped by, and to Stetson Law for hosting such a terrific event!

Planning for the future can mean using more than one financial tool. 💚

During National Estate Planning Awareness Week, it’s a good time to think about how an ABLE account may fit into a broader financial and estate plan.

At ABLE today, powered by NAST, we help people understand how ABLE accounts can support greater financial independence while maintaining access to certain means-tested benefits, including SSI and Medicaid.

ABLE accounts can also work alongside other planning tools, including special needs trusts. 🧩

Every situation is different, but the goal is the same: building a plan that supports greater choice, security and independence over time. 🌱

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. 💙💛

Here’s one myth worth busting: You can’t work and save.

For eligible people with Down syndrome, an ABLE account can be a powerful tool for saving, planning for the future and building greater financial security while maintaining access to certain means-tested benefits.

Work and saving can go together. So can independence, opportunity and long-term planning.

For more Down syndrome resources, visit the National Down Syndrome Society and National Down Syndrome Congress .
