[blindLaw] Free CLE Offered by National Assoc. of State Tres.

[GL Norman]

Friends:
I enjoyed, last year, the great pleasure to co-speak at the Mid-Atlantic conference, meeting the current President of the D.C. Bar. He serves as CEO of the above captioned organization, requesting I share a CLE his organization will soon provide on the Able Act.

In partnership with the D.C. Bar, the ABLE CLE was developed for law professionals nationwide to provide an overview of how ABLE accounts can positively impact people with disabilities.

The CLE provides statutory background on ABLE accounts and explains eligibility requirements, account management, contribution limits, qualified expenses, as well as tax rules, etc. The online class also gives practice pointers for using ABLE accounts, including working with special needs trusts. The class can be accessed at www.abletoday.org/cle<https://www.abletoday.org/cle>. The course is free, and since it is hosted by the D.C. Bar, it should count toward CLE requirements in other states since we have reciprocity with nearly all states requiring CLE.  This CLE can go a long way in helping connect individuals with disabilities to a critical tool to help them save for living expenses without risking their benefits.
