ABLE NEVADA

Giving those with disabilities the ability to save. New ABLE Nevada helps individuals save, while preserving their SSI and Medicaid.

Helping to make life better.

There's no limit to what people with disabilities can do. Now, that includes saving, too. With ABLE Nevada, you can save for qualified disability expenses without losing your eligibility for certain assistance programs, like SSI and Medicaid.

Plan highlights

Save with special tax advantages.

The earnings on your investments are federally tax-deferred and tax-free, if used for qualified disability expenses.¹ That can help your savings compound, earning returns on your returns.

Maintain your current benefits.

• Balances of $100,000 or less are excluded from your SSI resource limit.
• Only the amount OVER $100,000 is counted against your limit, along with assets held in non-ABLE accounts.
• If your account causes you to exceed the SSI resource limit, then your SSI benefits will be suspended until the account balance no longer exceeds your resource limit.²
• You'll continue to be eligible for Medicaid, regardless of your account balance.³

Open an account in minutes.

Just tell us a little bit about yourself and select your investments. That's it. You can easily access your account at any time, from a PC, tablet, or mobile device. Plus, you can get started with as little as $25.

Make withdrawals easily.

With ABLE Nevada, you can access your savings by:

• going online
• calling us
• mailing a paper form
• debit card or check, when you contribute to the Fifth Third Bank Checking Option

Avoid hidden fees.

The annualized investment costs on assets per investment option range from 0.34% to 0.38%, depending on which investment option(s) you select. Each Account is charged an account maintenance fee of $15 each quarter. This fee can be discounted by $3.75  if you select email delivery for statements and confirmations. The fee can be discounted by another $1.25 if the Account Owner or Authorized Individual is a resident of Nevada.

Who's eligible?

Eligible individuals can open the account for themselves, or an authorized individual can open an account on their behalf. There are a few requirements that individuals with disabilities must meet to be able to have an account.

You're eligible if:

• You're entitled to SSI or SSDI because of your disability; and
• your disability was present before age 26.

You must certify that:

• You have a physical or mental disability that can be expected to last for at least a year or can cause death; or you are blind; or your disability is included on the Social Security Administration's List of Compassionate Allowances Conditions; and
• Such blindness or disability occurred before age 26.

(Proof of eligibility is not required to open an account. However, you should maintain a record of your diagnosis, benefits verification letter or other relevant documents in the event that you are required to prove eligibility at a later time.)

What are Qualified Disability Expenses?

These are ANY expenses that are incurred as a result of living with a disability and are intended to improve your quality of life.

Qualified expenses include, but are not limited to:

• Education
• Health and wellness
• Housing
• Transportation
• Legal fees
• Financial management
• Employment training and support
• Assistive technology
• Personal support services
• Oversight and monitoring
• Funeral and burial expenses

When savings is used for non-qualified expenses:

• The earnings portion of the withdrawal will be treated as income, so it will be taxed at your tax rate, and will be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty and applicable state taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Earnings on non-qualified withdrawals may be subject to federal income tax and a 10% federal penalty tax, as well as applicable state and local income taxes.
2. Please see the Plan Disclosure Documents for complete details on SSI suspension and any requirements on when you use the funds, to prevent suspension of benefits.
3. Upon the death of the account owner, the state Medicaid agency shall be a creditor for the total medical assistance paid under the State’s Medicaid program on behalf of the account owner after the establishment of the account, upon filing of a claim for payment by such state.

Investment options to fit your needs.

ABLE Nevada offers a range of investment options to match both your goals and comfort with risk.

From aggressive options seeking higher returns to conservative investments that place capital preservation over growth, ABLE Nevada has choices for every investor.

FDIC-Insured Checking Option from Fifth Third Bank

You can even contribute to an FDIC-insured checking account (through Fifth Third Bank) that lets you withdraw money using a debit card. So you can easily use your funds for everyday expenses.

Portfolio performance

Choosing investments is an important decision. ABLE Nevada provides all the performance and investment details you need to make your choice.

Our center is located on the corner of Overland and Vinnell Street, in Boise Idaho.   At SarahCare we strive to keep families together at home by providing health related care during the day.  At the heart of SarahCare is a uniquely designed program that provides a safe and active environment for adults who require assistance during the day.  We provide peace of mind for family members who need to continue work or need caregiver respite.  Knowing that a family member is safely and lovingly cared for allows the caregiver to better address other needs and obligations.
