The Chicago Abilities Expo comes to town June 12-14, 2026, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL.

Join Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs on Friday, June 12 at 11 am as he cuts the ribbon to open the show. After the ribbon cutting, stop by booth #508 to learn how to open an IL ABLE Account to be able to save and invest to be able to pay for many of the products featured at the Abilities Expo. Grab some IL ABLE swag while you are there.

Medicaid Determination and IL ABLE Accounts

Know Before You Go!

Going through the process of determination or re-determination of Medicaid benefits with the Illinois Department of Human Services is an experience that we all know can be stressful for families. So, if you own or manage an IL ABLE Account, know that Medicaid must not count ABLE Account assets as a resource in determining or re-determining Medicaid benefits.

ABLE eligibility expands January 1, 2026!

Is Your Corporate Disability Employee Resource Group Ready?

If the company you work for has a disability business or employee resource group, members should know about the coming ABLE eligibility expansion. That’s because many employees acquired a disability before age 46 (not before age 26, the current eligibility criteria) and they may soon be eligible to open a tax-advantaged ABLE account.
