Treasurer Smith Highlighting IAble for ABLE to Save Month

DES MOINES - State Treasurer Roby Smith is celebrating ABLE to Save Month, a nationwide campaign recognized each April, by spreading the word about the IAble (Iowa's Achieving a Better Life Experience) plan and the advantages it brings to eligible individuals with a disability.

"IAble can really make a difference and help individuals with disabilities achieve a better life experience," said Treasurer Smith. "One of the biggest advantages of the plan is that eligible individuals can save without jeopardizing the benefits they count on."

ABLE to Save Month is a national education and outreach campaign dedicated to highlighting the benefits of ABLE accounts like IAble. The month-long event aims to provide information to families and support systems to ensure they're aware of a benefit they may not know about.

IAble is a financial tool eligible individuals and their support system can use to save money for their short- and long-term goals. When placed in an IAble account, the money is protected from the asset caps placed on Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other means-tested benefits. Savings and earnings can be used for transportation, housing, food, assistive technology and other qualified disability expenses.

To learn more, visit IAble.gov or call (888) 609-8910. For additional details, read the Plan Disclosure Booklet. Connect with the Treasurer on Facebook, Instagram and X to stay informed on current events and updates.
