Hi Yvonne, attached is a link to Virginia’s legislation. The fact that VI does not have SSI as a benefit should not be relevant to passage of the ABLE act.
The relevance of public benefits is to ensure that those benefits are protected when contributions are made to an ABLE act. You may also want to check out the Virginia website for more information

Subject: DD Councils Request info on ABLE Act legislation
Dear DD EDs:
The VI (U.S.) is seeking information on legislation on the ABLE Act. We don't have SSI here, so we are looking for legislation that does not include SSI (if this is even applicable).
Thank you,
