Individuals receiving government benefits often have limits on how much money they can save before their benefits are affected. But these limits make it difficult to save for housing, a car or educational or other goals. ABLE accounts, which are tax-advantaged savings accounts that can fund disability-related expenses, were created to assist individuals with disabilities to overcome these barriers.

Hope Served will host an ABLE account community training program with Diana Fishlock from the Pennsylvania Treasury Department on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 7 to 9 p.m. Attendees will learn who is eligible for the accounts, how to open an account and how to utilize an ABLE account for the benefit of themselves or a loved one.

Fishlock is one of Pennsylvania's main experts on the topic. The training will be held at Hope Served's offices at 201 W. High St., Manheim.
