Colorado’s college savings experts, CollegeInvest, administers the Colorado ABLE program.
“We are proud to provide enhanced saving opportunities to Coloradoans who experience disability,” said Angela Baier, chief executive officer for CollegeInvest. “Colorado was one of the first states to prioritize greater opportunities for our neighbors with disabilities with added tax savings for contributions to Colorado ABLE accounts. Fostering financial wellness and independence, especially for those who need some additional support, is just one more thing that makes Colorado great.”
The Stephen Beck, Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE Act) was enacted in 2014 to provide savings opportunities to individuals with qualified disabilities and their families to save for the future while protecting eligibility for public benefits. Colorado ABLE was launched in 2017, giving Coloradoans with disabilities the opportunity to save and invest for their future and build financial wellness. These accounts help save money needed to pay for the added expenses that come with having a disability.
