🎤 MEET THE PRESENTERS | ASK THE EXPERTS

✨ Meet Audra Spenia, Vocational Benefits Counselor with Job Squad Inc.

As we get ready for our upcoming special topic webinar, “Pathway to Employment & Greater Independence with Benefits Counseling and WVABLE,” we’re introducing you to our presenters and giving you a sneak peek at what you can expect!

We asked Audra a few questions about what she’ll be sharing during the webinar:

💬 Q: What can attendees expect to learn from your portion of the webinar?

A: Attendees will learn how Social Security Benefits Counseling helps individuals with disabilities understand how employment may affect their benefits. The session will cover key work incentives, the impact of earnings on benefits, and resources available to help individuals make informed decisions about working.

💡 Q: What is the most important information you hope participants take away from the webinar?

A: The most important takeaway is that working does not automatically mean losing Social Security or other benefits. With the right information and guidance, individuals can explore employment, understand how work affects their benefits, and make informed decisions about their financial future.

🌟 Q: What are you most looking forward to about the webinar?

A: I’m most looking forward to helping participants better understand Social Security work incentives and seeing how benefits counseling can reduce the fear and uncertainty that often comes with working while receiving benefits. Debunking some of these myths!

📣 Q: What else would you like attendees to know about the information you will be sharing?

A: I want attendees to know that benefits counseling is about more than just understanding benefits - it’s about helping individuals feel confident exploring employment and planning for their financial future which also includes the benefits of savings with WVABLE. The information shared can help reduce fear, clear up common misconceptions, and connect people with resources for personalized guidance.

Join us to learn how Benefits Counseling, Social Security Work Incentives, and WVABLE can work together to help individuals with disabilities pursue employment, save for the future, and build greater financial independence.

Your ABLE account may offer options for both saving and investing. 💵📈

Saving can help with near-term expenses, while investing may support longer-term goals.

It’s National ABLE Savings Day! 🎉 And here’s a myth worth busting:

“I don’t receive SSI or SSDI, so I can’t have an ABLE account.”

Think again. 👀

If your disability began before age 46 and you meet the disability criteria, you may still be eligible for an ABLE account — even if you don’t receive SSI or SSDI.

ABLE accounts can help eligible people with disabilities save for qualified disability expenses while building greater financial independence. 💰♿

ABLE today can help you learn more about eligibility and how ABLE accounts work.
