Treasurer Fitzpatrick Announces University
of Central Missouri to Offer MO ABLE Payroll Deductions Warrensburg, MO – Missouri
State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick today announced a partnership with the
University of Central Missouri and the MO ABLE program. UCM will begin offering
payroll deductions for MO ABLE accounts for employees on February 1. “Payroll deductions make it
easier for individuals with disabilities and parents of children with
disabilities to save for the future,” Treasurer Fitzpatrick said. “I am
committed to making MO ABLE more accessible so Missourians can make the best use
of this program. I thank the University of Central Missouri for this commitment
and hope other universities across the state will follow their example.” “Consistent with our longtime
commitment to making the University of Central Missouri a great place to work,
we are pleased to partner with Treasurer Fitzpatrick to make payroll deductions
for MO ABLE accounts available to our faculty and staff,” said UCM President
Roger Best. “MO ABLE accounts enable individuals with disabilities and their
families to save and invest, tax-free, providing peace of mind for families and
new opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We are proud to support MO
ABLE, knowing its potential to positively impact the future of eligible UCM employees.” Launched in 2017, MO ABLE allows
individuals with disabilities and their families to save up to $15,000 per
year, tax-free, without losing federal benefits like Medicaid and SSI. For more
