>> Welcome back from convention!  I am passing along a note from Jim McCarthy about a survey about the ABLE Act, the recently passed legislation that will allow certain SSI beneficiaries to open a special ABLE account without losing their benefits.  Thanks for your help!

>> Dear Friends,

>> The ABLE National Resource Center has constructed an informal survey to gather a better understanding of the level of enthusiasm behind creating ABLE accounts and how potential beneficiaries may utilize these accounts for purposes of maintaining and increasing their health, independence, and quality of life.  The information gathered through this survey will be analyzed by the ABLE National Resource Center and made available to its members and other relevant stakeholders.  Through wide participation, we hope to use this valuable information to assist in the development of effective and responsive state ABLE programs.  
>> 
>> In an effort to gather as much information as possible, we ask that you please consider distributing this survey to your members (and all other interested parties) via social media, email blasts, and through your respective newsletters (feel free to use the language in this email in your outreach).  We would like to have all responses in by August 3, but would still encourage you to include the survey in your periodic email publications for the month of July and August.

>> The link to the survey (including instructions) is as follows:
