Dollars & Sense: Trusts, Savings, and Support

Registration opens soon!

Welcome

You deserve the opportunity to plan for your future with knowledge, stability, and choice.

We understand that financial systems can feel complex and hard to navigate, especially when your benefits are on the line. In this workshop, we’ll walk through key tools such as ABLE accounts, Special Needs Trusts, and other savings options, and explain how they interact with public benefits.

Together, we’ll explore how these tools can help you build savings, plan ahead, and make informed decisions about what works best for your goals and your circumstances.

Who This Is For

This special session is open to women of all ages who want to better understand how saving and financial planning can work alongside benefits like SSI or Medicaid.

What to Expect

This 60-minute virtual workshop will break down:

  • ABLE Accounts

  • Special Needs Trusts

  • Trump Accounts

  • When each option may be helpful

  • How they may support savings while maintaining benefit eligibility

We will focus on clear language, practical examples and helpful resources, not legal jargon.

Accessibility and Participation

ASL, live captions and translation services are provided at every Ability Central workshop. Please be sure to share any additional access needs using the registration form.

What You’ll Take With You

  • A clearer understanding of how tools like ABLE accounts and Special Needs Trusts actually work

  • Greater confidence in how savings can interact with public benefits

  • Practical knowledge to help you make informed decisions about your financial future

Think of this workshop as:

“I have a better understanding of my options, and I can plan my future with greater confidence.”

Someone inspiring is on the way...
