The purpose of this bill is to make amendments to the West Virginia ABLE Act and add a reduction in federal adjusted gross income for West Virginia personal income taxes. The bill adds and clarifies definitions to conform to federal law; adds an attorney in fact and a parent to the persons authorized to create or manage West Virginia ABLE Act accounts as permitted by federal law; amends the age of eligible individuals to conform to federal law; clarifies that a guardian may manage an ABLE account regardless of the amount of a designated beneficiary’s assets and that the Department of Health and Human Resources may not manage an ABLE account; adds an FEIN to the application requirements; authorizing the minimum account value to be the value established by the state of the program manager contracting with the Treasurer; clarifies that moneys in a West Virginia ABLE Act account or from a qualified withdrawal are to be disregarded when determining eligibility for or the amount of public assistance unless required by federal law, are not subject to claims of the Department of Health and Human Resources unless required by federal law, and on the death of a designed beneficiary shall be transferred to the estate of the designated beneficiary unless prohibited by federal law; and authorizes contributions to West Virginia ABLE Act accounts to be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income for purposes of West Virginia personal income taxes and the recapture of the amounts subtracted if used for purposes other than a qualified disability expense. In addition, the bill makes various technical revisions.
