Enable Savings Plans

The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was signed into law authorizing individuals with disabilities to open tax-exempt savings accounts to save for disability-related expenses without impacting eligibility for resource-based benefits. The Act permits individuals with disabilities to save more than a total of $2,000 in assets (cash, savings, etc.) in their name in an Enable savings account.

Amelis Long, Enable Outreach Specialist, from First National Bank will be presenting on the Nebraska ABLE Act and Enable accounts. There will be designated time after the presentation for you to register for an Enable account, should you choose to do so, and Amelis will be available to assist you with any questions you may have along the way!*

- What is an ENABLE account?
- Do we need an ENABLE account?
- Who is eligible for an ENABLE account?
