Discover Financial Freedom: How ABLE United Empowers Floridians with Disabilities

July 24, 2024

Living with a disability in Florida comes with unique financial challenges. At ABLE United, we understand these challenges and want to help you take control of your financial future.

Did you know that you can save for your goals while maintaining important benefits like SSI and Medicaid? Thanks to the ABLE Act, we offer tax-free savings and investment accounts, designed specifically for Floridians with disabilities.

The ABLE Act and ABLE United: a New Beginning

We’re inspired by the tireless efforts of those who paved the way for your financial empowerment. Former Congressman Ander Crenshaw and parent advocate Jenn Sikora were instrumental in bringing the ABLE Act to life, opening doors for Floridians with disabilities to save for their dreams while maintaining essential benefits.

“As a parent, I knew we needed a better way to secure our children’s futures,” Jenn shared. “The ABLE Act is that solution, born from years of grassroots passion and bipartisan cooperation.”

Today, we’re honored to have both Crenshaw and Sikora on our board, continuing their mission to uplift our community. Their wisdom guides us as we help you navigate your path to financial independence.

How It Works:

  • Open an Account: It’s free, simple, and takes just 15 minutes. The account is owned by the individual with a disability, but an authorized person may also open and oversee the account.
  • Contribute: Start saving with as little as $25! Save up to $19,000 per year – individually or with the help of family and friends – with even higher limits if working and not saving for retirement.
  • Choose Investments: Pick from three pre-designed portfolios or five individual funds, including an FDIC-insured savings option, to meet your savings goals.
  • Withdraw: Access your funds online via electronic transfer to a linked bank account, reloadable ABLE Visa® Prepaid Card, or request a paper check.
