ABLE Accounts in Maine Webinar

 

Join Maine Medical Center, Department of Vocational Services for a free webinar to learn about Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts now available in Maine! In October 2021, Maine launched the ABLE ME program in partnership with the Maine State Treasurer's Office and Bangor Savings Bank.

 

February 2 from 1-2:30pm
Registration is required

 

ABLE accounts help people with disabilities save money for qualified disabilities expenses, such as education, housing, transportation, employment training, assistive technology, personal support services, healthcare expenses, financial management and other expenses. Money saved in an ABLE account does not count as an asset for means-tested public benefits, such as SSI, MaineCare, SNAP, and subsidized housing.

 

Presenters:

  • Mikayla Smith, Bangor Savings Bank
  • Henry Beck, Maine State Treasurer
  • Stephanie Desrochers, Benefits Counseling Services at Maine Medical Center Department of Vocational Services
  • We will also have staff from the ABLE National Resource Center available during Questions & Answers

 

CART and ASL will be available. The webinar is also being recorded and available online later.

This webinar is offered in partnership with ABLE National Resource Center, Bangor Savings Bank, Benefits Counseling Services at Maine Medical Center, Maine Department of Health and Human Services Office of Aging and Disability Services, Maine Department of Labor Bureau of Rehabilitation Services, and Office of the Maine State Treasurer.
