COVID-19 has brought a lot of change and a lot of confusion. To help people with disabilities get the information they need, we’ve created a few resources that can provide them some guidance.
First, there’s a one pager that goes over what the COVID-19 stimulus funds are, how they might affect benefits, and how ABLE can help if they’re now worried about asset limits. Disability Rights Oregon and Oregon Developmental Disabilities Services worked with us in creating it. You can find a link to it athttps://www.oregonablesavings.com/s/CovidABLEOnePagerFinal.pdf
Second, on June 18th at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., we will have webinars that help people with disabilities who are unemployed because of COVID figure out what to do next. Speakers will include someone from the Oregon Unemployment Department, benefits counselors from DHS’ Work Incentives Network (WIN), and an Oregon ABLE representative. We will talk what Unemployment Insurance is and how to get it; how it affects benefits; and what to do if you’re worried about asset limits. Attached is a flyer promoting the event with the link to registration. You can also learn more about it at https://www.oregonablesavings.com/resources
Please, feel free to spread these resources far and wide. We know it’s a scary time for all of us. We’re hoping these tools can help provide at least some comfort and guidance.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: COVID-19, Unemployment, and ABLE Accounts. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. Are you unemployed and experience a disability? Wondering what to do next? We can help. Learn about Unemployment Insurance, COVID stimulus funds, how they affect your benefits, and what you can do if you're worried about asset limits.
