To provide benefits to individuals with disabilities by making distributions which do not jeopardize entitlements
In times of uncertainty, we all look to constants to help us navigate change with strength. Like a strong tree weathering a storm, The Disability Foundation has been steadfast in its commitment to provide financial options that enable individuals with disabilities or disadvantages to improve the quality of their life.Despite the challenges of the pandemic in the last 3 months of the year alone, we established 39 new trust accounts, received $1,510,355 in deposits and distributed $743,601 back to our beneficiaries to help them improve their quality of life in ways that are often not possible for individuals relying on public benefits.Our employees continue to work remotely, and, while that hasn't been without challenges, we've done everything we can to make sure funds can be received and distributed during these times.Highlights: * Created 122 trust accounts for individuals with disabilities, our best year since 2015 * Awarded over $57,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations serving people with disabilities who had been negatively impacted by the pandemic (funds came from growth of the deceased beneficiary fund) * Expanded use of debit cards to provide independence to beneficiaries with oversight provided by The Disability Foundation * Increased number of individuals using electronic deposit * Created comparison materials to assist people considering a STABLE account * Served individuals in 41 counties across Ohio, an increase from 36 last fiscal year * Grew active management accounts to over $26M * Began to offer direct payment of wireless bills, substantially reducing the time for payment
The Disability Foundation assists with the creation of annuity agreements for a Medicaid pooled trust and administers the trust for The Ohio Community Pooled Annuity Trust, a related Section 501(c)(3) organization.
The Disability Foundation administers Pooled Flexible-Spending trusts for individuals with disabilities within the meaning of 42 USC 1396P(D)(4)(C)
