Goal: Creates a new option for some people with disabilities to save money for the future, while protecting eligibility for public benefits.
People who acquired their disability age 26 or before and who use needs-based programs, such as SSI and Medicaid, will be able to save money beyond typical limits in Montana starting in November.
Up to $14,000 per year from self, family, friends and community members can be saved for disability expenses including: education, housing, transportation, employment training and support, assistive technology and health services.
Stay tuned as more rules and details emerge about this opportunity.
