Are there other characteristics unique to the program?
The program is unique because it was created with the support of people with disabilities and those working with the disability community. We collaborate with nonprofit organizations and government agencies that focus on disability issues and champion our cause. We established ways for people to get in-person assistance with in-state partners such as the Aging and Disability Resource Centers in case they need additional support. Our support team goes above and beyond with intensive training to help empower beneficiaries with information provided in a way that is most useful for that person. The Oregon ABLE debit card was designed with accessibility in mind having special features to improve ease of use for individuals with disabilities and allows beneficiaries a simple, efficient way to use up to $15,000 at a time for Qualified Disability Expenses. We’re also the first ABLE program to partner with Sumday, a program manager that offers a fun, simple and intuitive online platform that helps people manage their ABLE accounts to reach their dreams.
