Celebrating 10 years of ABLE

Thank you for being a part of the ABLE story!

To our Washington ABLE community,

The Washington State ABLE Savings Plan has grown tremendously since it launched in 2018, supported by the passage of the Stephen Beck Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience Act passed in December 2014. By investing in your future with us, you have played a huge part in the growth and success of WA ABLE.

We know that financial stability strongly affects your quality of life. Our team hopes that your Washington State ABLE Savings account has empowered you to live with more security and inspired you to dream for tomorrow!

On that note, we would love to hear about your Washington ABLE story! If you want to share your experiences with us, we invite you to Share your Washington ABLE Story through a short survey. You will also have the opportunity to be filmed on video and receive a $200 stipend if selected!* More information about the survey is available online.

Although you will continue your Washington ABLE story into 2025 and beyond, the Share your WA ABLE Story form closes at midnight on January 31, 2025. Please take some time to reflect and share with us before then. We will send another reminder before the end of the year.

Enjoy the holidays! Have a wonderful time with your friends and family!

Warmly, the Washington State ABLE Savings Plan Team

*Terms and conditions apply. Selection of the final WA ABLE stories to be filmed is made solely at the discretion of WA ABLE. Video stories will be used for marketing and promotional purposes.
