Summary
Missouri’s Treasurer Vivek Malek is championing two powerful new programs to help people with disabilities build financial security without losing vital benefits. He toured communities in Fulton and Warrenton to spotlight the MO ABLE program, which lets eligible individuals save up to $20,000 annually — even $100,000 total — while keeping SSI and Medicaid intact. Plus, a new federal Trump Account offers $1,000 seed money to kids born between 2025–2028, with the option to roll it into an ABLE account at age 17. These tools aren’t rivals — they’re partners: one kicks off savings early, the other helps manage funds for lasting independence. With 2025 setting a record for MO ABLE enrollment, Malek’s mission is clear: empower families to secure a brighter, more stable future for their loved ones with disabilities.
