Those who have participated in previous NFXF Advocacy Days and responded to prior Action Alerts know that we advocated for passage of the ABLE Act in the 111th Congress.

To provide secure funding for disability-related expenses on behalf of designated beneficiaries with disabilities that will supplement, but not replace, benefits provided through private insurances, the Medicaid program, the supplemental security income program, the beneficiary’s employment, and other sources.  Click below to read more....
