Hi Yvonne,

This effort just started in New York State (https://www.mynyable.org/home.html). We (NYSDDPC) are working with our State Comptroller’s office to find a way to promote it and (possibly) train our self-advocates. We actually held our 1^st meeting last Wednesday. We will keep you posted.

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,

Yvonne D. Petersen
Executive Director
