the feminist librarian reads

Currently, too many people who are unable to keep full-time work because of a disability but cannot survive on disability insurance alone are trapped in limbo. They cannot save more than $2,000 without losing their benefits. They also can’t earn steady money by working. Social Security and Medicaid, however, do not cover all the costs that millions of disabled individuals face, whether for health care, housing, transportation or education. The very benefits that are supposed to help disabled people also restrict them from planning for the future or trying to improve their lives. ABLE, by creating special savings accounts for qualified expenses, would fix this Catch-22.
