Landmark ENABLE Act Signed into Law

July 9, 2025

We are thrilled to announce our strong support for the ENABLE Act, a groundbreaking piece of legislation that aligns with our mission to advocate for and empower individuals with disabilities and their families.

This Act represents a significant step forward in enhancing financial security and stability for those we support by making key provisions of ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts permanent. ABLE accounts have been instrumental in allowing individuals with disabilities to save for their futures without risking their eligibility for essential public benefits. Through our advocacy efforts and support for this legislation, we continue to champion policies that improve the quality of life and economic well-being of individuals with disabilities.

We invite you to read Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO)’s press release to learn more about the ENABLE Act and its profound impact on the lives of those we serve.
