Bishop and Rep. McMorris Rodgers: Executive Committee Henry Beck, ME As we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act David Damschen, UT Tim Eichenberg, NM (ADA), we can be proud of its positive impact on veterans with disabilities, while acknowledging Michael Frerichs, IL that there is much left to do. Dennis Milligan, AR Kelly Mitchell, IN The main purpose of the ADA is to provide people with disabilities equality of opportunity, full Shawn Wooden, CT participation in society, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. But for more than two Executive Director decades after its passage, economic self-sufficiency was impossible for some. People with Shaun Snyder disabilities who need government benefits in order to live independently were blocked from saving 1201 Pennsylvania Ave, NW money. Without savings, economic self-sufficiency is unattainable. And without being able to Suite 800 fully participate in the economy, the other goals will not be fully realized. Washington, DC 20004 When the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed into law in 2014, many www.NAST.org Americans with disabilities were empowered to save their own money to help pay for their disability expenses without fear of losing federal and state benefits. The Act was a meaningful step forward for people with disabilities. However, it came up short. After more than five years, and on the 30th birthday of the ADA, millions of Americans with disabilities, including veterans, still remain ineligible to open an ABLE account simply because they acquired their disability after they turned 26 years old.
