IL ABLE Training in Lincoln

Free training on IL ABLE (“Achieving a Better Life Experience”) Accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families

Do you have a child with complex health needs? Does your child receive Social Security or other disability benefits?

Have you heard the phrase “ABLE Account” before but are unsure if you qualify to sign up?

If you answered yes to these questions, this free training is for you!

Please join the University of Illinois Chicago’s Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) and Lincoln Community High School (LCHS) for this informational session on March 26 from 5 to 6 p.m. on the LCHS campus, 1000 Railer Way, in Lincoln.

IL ABLE Accounts give people with disabilities and their families greater financial independence while preserving benefits.

Eligible or authorized individuals can open a high-quality, low-cost IL ABLE savings and investment account at any time, no matter what state they live in.

Abby Valtierra, a Care Coordinator in DSCC’s Springfield Regional Office, will lead this training to give families an overview of the IL ABLE program and help them sign up for an account.

Pizza and drinks will be available.

Please complete the registration form by March 24 if you’d like to attend.
