Explanation

(This amendment provides the Virginia College Savings Plan with additional NGF authorization for the ABLEnow program, which is a direct-sold program that helps individuals with disabilities save for qualified expenses without being taxed on the earnings and in most cases without losing eligibility for most means-tested programs. The funding will support targeted digital campaigns to reach diverse disability markets, increased community outreach, and development of resources and partnerships at the state level to drive awareness and engagement.)
