Calling all financial counselors! Join Guidewell Financial Solutions for a brown bag lunch to learn more about how Maryland ABLE can benefit your clients with disabilities.

Maryland ABLE accounts are a new way to help individuals with disabilities save money and pay for qualified disability-related expenses without jeopardizing state or federal means-tested benefits such as SSI or Medicaid.

If the people you work with receive SSI (Supplemental Security Income), they can have up to $100,000 in an ABLE account without it counting towards the $2,000 asset limit.

In Canada, we are fortunate to have many benefits and programs which can support those of us in need. One challenge however, is finding, accessing, and applying for these benefits; navigating through this process can often result in confusion plus other difficulties. We are here to change that.

 

As parents we have a passion for assisting parents through the process, because we feel that every family truly deserves to make the most out of what they can receive from our government.

 

Please join us at this next Dyslexia BC event, where we will educate parents on this seemingly overwhelming process of applying for the disability tax credit. Learn not only about how the disability tax credit works, but also the registered disability savings plan as well. We look forward to meeting you all.

Many families worry about how a loved one with a disability will be cared for in future years.  Thanks to the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) and generous federal grants and bonds, now it is easier for people with disabilities to save for their long-term financial security.

This season will focus on:

• What is the RDSP
• Who qualifies for an RDSP
• How to open an RDSP account
• How the government grants and bonds work
• How to withdraw money
• Overview of the Henson Trust

Tax-free Registered Disability Savings Plan can be a difference-maker for Canadians with disabilities

With up to $70,000 available in government grants matching your contributions, and an additional lifetime bond of up to $20,000 for lower-income households, the RDSP can make a huge financial difference for individuals with disabilities.

Ontario’s Direct Funding program

Direct Funding is an innovative program enabling adults with physical disabilities to become employers of their own attendants.

Attendants assist with routine activities of living, such as dressing, grooming and bathing.

 

Direct Funding means freedom for many people with disabilities. Is it accessible enough?

Direct Funding allows people with disabilities in Canada to hire and manage their own staff, giving them control over their schedules and lives. But the wait list is as long as a year.

 

Direct Funding means freedom for many people with disabilities. Is it accessible enough?

Available Ontario wide, the Direct Funding Program enables adults with physical disabilities to receive monthly funds for attendants of their own choosing, to schedule as they please - whether their needs are at home, at work, or in the community. Individuals self-manage their lives, making their own choices with greater flexibility and control.

The Direct Funding Program is administered by the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto (CILT), Inc., in partnership with the Ontario Network of Independent Living Centres (ONILC). It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care through the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network.

For some people with disabilities, Direct Funding is a highly desirable alternative to government-funded home care. But after applying, potential participants are placed in a queue for an interview, and can wait as long as a year before being contacted, which is a significant barrier. Further reading.
