Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Senator Bob Casey: PA ABLE Savings Program Surpasses $135 Million in Assets

Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Senator Bob Casey announced the PA ABLE Savings Program has surpassed $135 million in assets, a major program milestone. PA ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts help Pennsylvanians with disabilities and their families to save for disability-related expenses without impacting important benefits.

"The growth of PA ABLE is truly amazing and it's changing lives," Treasurer Garrity said. "Earlier this year, we announced that we surpassed $100 million in assets. Today, we're over $135 million. Those are great numbers, but it's far more important to understand what they mean: Pennsylvanians with disabilities are saving with PA ABLE because it works. I will keep fighting to make PA ABLE even stronger because everyone deserves financial independence and security. ABLE has deep, bipartisan roots in Pennsylvania, and I'm proud to promote it everywhere I go."

Senator Casey joined Pennsylvania Treasury's Deputy Treasurer for Consumer Programs, Julie Peachey, at the Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living (LVCIL) in Allentown Monday to make the announcement.


Speakers Include:
Tony Swartz, LVCIL Board President
Senator Bob Casey
Julie Peachey, Deputy Treasurer for Consumer Programs
Jacey Surbrook, ABLE Account Owner
Lisa Sportelli, Parent of an ABLE Account Owner
