[Iabs-talk] FW: Stories from IL members about the benefits of ATAA

[denise Avant]

Hello all,

I have been asked by our government affairs team to post the following: Please read, and participate. We really have an opportunity to have congress pass meaningful legislation that will help visually impaired and blind people purchase adaptive equipment for work and school. Thanks for all you do.

National Federation of the Blind of Illinois

Subject: Stories from IL members about the benefits of ATAA

 

Good Afternoon Denise:

 

It was a pleasure seeing your members on the Hill this past week. I believe we received a great amount of feedback and support from congressional and senate offices. But we are not done yet. As we mentioned, following up with offices is the most important part. I was wondering if you could please ask your members to write stories about how ATAA would help them with their education, work, or independence. Just a refresher, ATAA is a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,500 over three years to offset the cost of access technology. We would love to hear from parents who have purchased access tech for their children, student, employees, retirees, veterans, etc. 

 

Please have your interested members contact me for assistance writing their letters.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Kimie Beverly
