We are honored to work with our colleague, Ava Geissel, to assist families affected by brain injury with their planning. The 5K was a great event!

The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ) brought survivors, caregivers, families and supporters together on Saturday, Oct. 10, for its annual 5K Run/Walk

"Curious about the new 530A/Trump Accounts? ABLE National Resource Center's parent company, National Disability Institute (NDI), developed new resources to explain who is eligible for a Trump Account, how these accounts work, including the federal seed contribution and contribution rules, and how the account can fund an ABLE account."

Good news for families: contributions to a 530A/Trump Account, including the
$1,000 federal seed deposit, do not count as income or resources for SSI.
