Northwest Access Fund is partnering with Oregon ABLE Savings Plan to help people with disabilities in Oregon open and fund ABLE accounts!

To be eligible for an ABLE account, a person must have a qualifying disability that began before the age of 46; money in an ABLE account does not count as a resource for disability benefits like SSI and Medicaid, so ABLE accounts allow people on those programs to save money without losing their benefits.

As part of the program, we have 100 promo codes worth $100 each to fund new ABLE accounts in Oregon. The promo codes are first come, first serve, and our financial coaches will meet one-on-one with people who are interested in opening an ABLE account to provide support and answer questions. Meetings are by Zoom or by phone. You can schedule a meeting here: https://calendly.com/d/cxwq-58c-tt7
