These special tax advantaged savings/investment accounts allow qualified individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save for disability related expenses without jeopardizing their eligibility for many public benefits. nThe Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released guidance regarding how ABLE accounts (and ABLE funds) may impact Medicaid eligibility and the scope of supports and services provided through the Medicaid program. This webinar will provide ABLE related stakeholders with a brief analysis and summary of the CMS guidance and will include a Q&A with a number of ABLE related experts representing both the disability community and the individuals responsible for administering ABLE programs.nIn order to prepare for the webinar, we encourage you to watch this short informative video about ABLE accounts at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfTr44nO99E&feature=youtu.be.nRegister for the webinar at: //ndiwebinars.webex.com/mw3200/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&siteurl=ndiwebinars&service=6&rnd=0.5281521851874503&main_url=https%3A%2F%2Fndiwebinars.webex.com%2Fec3200%2Feventcenter%2Fevent%2FeventAction.do%3FtheAction%3Ddetail%26%26%26EMK%3D4832534b00000004d9c97403ab43459c1a194f5750a2fd590c1b2225f5d079113920d8a44ad4d5e4%26siteurl%3Dndiwebinars%26confViewID%3D76890666524770155%26encryptTicket%3DSDJTSwAAAASO-_ppeQrJj-iUNC0XQEqzjDFaMcm7uAO8ccsJf55MnQ2%26 . nPlease note: Real time captioning will be provided for this webinar.
