ABLEnow Launch & Information Session

On behalf of Virginia529, I want to invite you and the families that you work with to the official ABLEnow launch. It’s a new financial tool for individuals with disabilities and their families to save, invest and pay for qualified disability-related expenses.   

 

It will take place on Monday, December 19, at the Lee Center in Alexandria, Virginia. A public announcement and presentation will be made from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by an open house with information sessions for individuals with disabilities and their families starting at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. 

 

Here is what to expect at the event:

• Virginia529 CEO, Mary Morris, will announce the launch of ABLEnow and discuss how the program will increase independence and financial wellness for individuals with disabilities and their families 
• As a community, we will celebrate the two-year anniversary of the federal Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act, which was signed into law on December 19, 2014 
• Actively involved in the passage of the ABLE Act named in honor of her late husband, Catherine Beck and her daughter Natalie Beck will open an ABLEnow account and be presented with the first ABLEnow Card by Virginia529 CEO, Mary Morris
• Influential government and state officials are scheduled to attend, including Virginia Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn, a tireless advocate of the disability community and the primary sponsor of Virginia’s ABLE legislation 
• Following the ceremony, the open house will offer two information sessions beginning at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. that will discuss the ABLEnow program and give individuals and families an opportunity to ask questions 
• There will also be opportunity for eligible individuals to sign-up for an ABLEnow account on the spot

 

We would appreciate it if you would share the ABLEnow program launch and the below event invitation more broadly, and let us know if you, or any others can attend the event. You may RSVP at https://ablenowlaunch.eventbrite.com.
