Gov. David Ige announced the launch of the Hawaiʻi ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) Savings Program, which allows eligible individuals with disabilities to save money without jeopardizing their federal or state disability benefits. ABLE accounts are federally established and managed at the state level.

In 2019, Gov. Ige signed Kal’s Law, which allowed individuals with a qualifying disability to work full-time at minimum wage without losing state or federal benefits. This year, Gov. Ige signed a bill that became Act 55 — which removes the practice of paying individuals a sub-minimum wage based solely on the fact the individual has a disability.

Hawaiʻi ABLE is proud to be part of the ABLE Collaboration and the ABLE for ALL Savings Plan, a national ABLE savings plan administered by the State of Oregon.

To ensure savers have access to reliable services and features that are ADA-compliant, the ABLE for ALL Savings Plan is partnered with Sumday Administration LLC, as part of the program’s plan manager. Sumday’s intuitive online platform is simple to use and helps people manage their ABLE accounts to reach their dreams.
