Develop a User-Friendly
"Guide to Understanding Maryland ABLE"
Proposals Due: November 14, 2018 by noon
The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council (DD Council) is seeking proposals for a writer/editor to develop a guide to understanding Maryland ABLE based on information contained in the Maryland ABLE Plan Disclosure Booklet, outreach materials, and other program resources. The outcome of this project is a user-friendly guide that will assist people with disabilities and their families to understand Maryland ABLE. The DD Council is working in collaboration with the Maryland ABLE program on this project.
The selected contractor will write a "Guide to Understanding Maryland ABLE" by integrating, editing, and re-writing information from various sources. The guide will be in a format and use language intended to enhance the ability of people with disabilities and their families to read and understand information about the Maryland ABLE program.
Background
Maryland ABLE is a savings and investment program that offers people with disabilities the opportunity to save money without jeopardizing access to federal and state means-tested benefits. The program provides the opportunity for people with disabilities and their families to save funds to support individuals with disabilities to maintain health, independence, and quality of life. Maryland ABLE account funds are for qualified disability-related expenses that supplement, not supplant, crucial public benefits, the beneficiary's employment income, and any other source.
