View Award Description

Financial Engagement as a Gateway to Community Participation: A Multi-Level Intervention Study - National Disability Institute, in partnership with Virginia’s state VR agency and ABLENow program, Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University, Institute on Disability at University of New Hampshire, and the Expert Research Advisory Panel will conduct Financial Engagement as a Gateway to Community Participation: A Multi-Level Intervention Study to examine the promise of ABLE accounts in increasing community participation for individuals with I/DD and cognitive disabilities. The ABLE Act of 2014 allows an estimated seven million individuals with significant disabilities to establish tax advantaged saving accounts exempt from means-lasted requirements for federal public benefits (SSI, Medicaid, and SNAP) and prohibits reduction of public resources when an account is established. Contributions represent a down payment on freedom and independence that can set life changing goals at all stages of life. This research represents the first empirical longitudinal study of the impact of ABLE implementation. The project goal is to enhance understanding of the benefits of financial health trainings that improve outcomes. A randomized controlled trial study will examine impact of (1) an ABLE account and (2) the joint impact of an ABLE account and Future Savers training program on community participation. Objectives include evaluation of participants’ self-directed engagement in ABLE accounts and participants’ facilitated engagement in ABLE accounts and a comprehensive training program that assists in planning for the future and managing finances to reach goals. Outcomes include community participation and its related and antecedent outcomes: self-determination, financial capability, life satisfaction, and quality of life. Deliverables include evidence regarding interventions that improve economic self-sufficiency and community participation, and knowledge translation strategies to replicate interventions nationwide.
