[Ohio-Talk] having a business as a blind person

[Joe Ansman]

Asia,
Look into an ABLE  account. You can put like 17,000 per calander year and
it doesn’t affect your SSI or Medicaid if you receive that. A good person
to talk to is Chris Peterson from Penny Forward. They are blind people
helping blind people with finances. Do a search for penny forward online.
Best of luck.
Joe
