CalABLE Accounts as a Financial Literacy and Transition Tool
Financial literacy is an important skill that any student transitioning to adulthood should have. CalABLE accounts are a resource for people with disabilities to save and manage their money, without losing access to the benefits programs they need. With a CalABLE account, individuals who developed a disability before age 26 are able to save up to $18,000 per year, and up to $100,000 total, without affecting eligibility for public disability benefits. The money in these accounts can be spent at any time for qualified disability expenses such as education, assistive technology, employment support, and more. Participants in this session will learn how CalABLE accounts can support students with disabilities as they transition to adulthood.
