The ABLE Age Adjustment Act passed!

Today, we're sitting down with one of your favorite guests, Paul Curley, to get into the details of the ABLE Age Adjustment Act, which passed as a part of SECURE 2.0 in December 2022.

It's April, which is recognized as Autism Acceptance Month. Last week, when we talked to Sara, she let us onto another way to celebrate April, by rebranding it as Autism Action Month.

Joyce's idea of reaching out to Autistic people and Autistic families this month to provide direct support was absolutely spot-on. For a lot of people listening, you are those families.

So today we're going to talk about other ways to take action during Autism Action month and beyond. Ways you can engage in democracy and continue to make your financial life and the lives of your children better not just now, but in the future.

We're so excited that the ABLE Age Adjustment Act passed, but there's still a lot of work to do, and Paul teaches us some of the best areas to focus on as we interact with our legislators.
