Five things you should know about Enable
An Enable Savings Plan account is a great way to save for current or future disability-related expenses without impacting resource-based benefits, SSI and Medicaid. There is no residency requirement, so anyone nationwide who is an Eligible Individual can be an account owner.
1.
Worthwhile Tax Advantages
Earnings on your investment grow tax-deferred while invested, and are tax-free at both a federal and state level if used for any
Qualified Disability Expenses. Contributions qualify for the federal gift tax exclusion up to $16,000. You may also be eligible for a state income tax deduction or other benefits.
2.
Affordable
There is a low $50 minimum contribution when an account is opened, and $25 if you select the Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) or payroll deduction at enrollment. After you open an account, there is a $25 minimum for subsequent contributions, waived if you contribute systematically from a paycheck or from a bank account. Save as little as you want or whatever you can afford.
3.
Anyone Can Contribute
While assets in the account belong to the account owner, anyone can contribute. You, friends, and family members can all contribute to your account up to an annual total contribution limit of $16,000 from all sources. You can contribute by check or online and with prescheduled contributions from a paycheck or bank account. We even have a way to make gift contributions.
