Understanding Asset Development for Individuals with Disabilities

Learn all about asset development. Asset development is about encouraging people to save money and to make investments that increase in value over time. It is believed that by building assets, individuals and their families will be able to move out of poverty and remain out of poverty. However, many people mistakenly think that work and saving money will automatically make them ineligible for Social Security Disability benefits.
