Welcome to Month! 🎉

April is a time to learn, grow, and take action toward your financial future, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

ABLE accounts are one of the most powerful financial tools available to people with disabilities. They allow you to save and invest money for disability-related expenses without losing access to the benefits you depend on — like SSI or Medicaid.
And you can start with as little as $25.

This month, we're making it easier than ever to understand ABLE accounts, explore your options, and take that first small action toward bigger possibilities.

Read the release: https://www.nationaldisabilityinstitute.org/press/able-national-resource-center-launches-2026-abletosave-campaign/

Who can contribute to an ABLE account?
☐ Only the account owner
☐ Family and friends
☐ Employers
☐ All of the above
✓ Answer: All of the above!

Anyone can contribute to an ABLE account — the account owner, family members, friends, employers, and even certain trusts or 529 education accounts. The annual contribution limit for 2026 is $20,000 from all sources combined (higher if the account owner is employed).

In June 2020, we debuted the “Your Dream, Your Team” Website - A Toolkit to Help Job Seekers with Disabilities

The new website was created as a result of the Disability Employment Initiative grant. The goal is to improve career pathways outcomes for youth with disabilities through career training, employment, and supportive services.

The Your Dream, Your Team website was developed as a resource to improve career exploration and employment for job seekers with disabilities, with an emphasis on outcomes for youth with disabilities (ages 14-24).

Your Dream, Your Team was developed by CDO Workforce, Hempstead Works, Tompkins County Workforce, and Change Impact with guidance from the DEI team at the New York State Department of Labor.

The website offers useful tools, guidance, forms, and other resources to support job seekers with disabilities and the individuals and organizations who support them, including community-based organizations, employment counselors, Disability Resource Coordinators, and parents who want to introduce their child to a career pathway and prepare them for a stable, long-term career.

The site also offers a variety of resources for businesses that are designed to help businesses learn how to be more inclusive and support employees with disabilities.

We invite you to explore the Your Dream, Your Team website!
