10 National Disability Institute A national research and development organization with the mission to promote income preservation and asset development for persons with disabilities and to build a better economic future for Americans with disabilities.
11 What is Financial Wellness? We define financial wellness as the state of a person s finances with the intent of working towards financial behaviors that limit stress and the impact of stress on one s daily life. 11
12 Why is Financial Wellness Important? Impacts mental and physical health. Positively impacts self-concept. Changes status with other community stakeholders. Directly impacts quality of life. 12
13 Financial Wellness Understanding Public Benefit rules Building and Maintaining Assets Being Financially Literate Accessing Affordable Financial Services Accessing Available Healthcare Subsidies Understanding work and long-term disability options Utilizing Favorable Tax Provisions Budgeting 13
14 National Poverty Estimates Individuals ages For individuals without disabilities, 12.4% had income below the poverty level over the past 12 months For individuals with disabilities, more than 2x that rate 28.8% had income below the poverty level. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 American Community Survey 14
15 Financial Wellness and MS A recent survey conducted by MSAA and NDI involving individuals with MS indicated: 55.1% of households earn less than $35k annually, 16.4% earn less than $50k but more than $35k annually. When asked about the ability to pay all of their bills in a typical month, 32% have a very difficult time paying their bills in a typical month, 46.9% reported a somewhat difficult time. 43% of respondents reported that their financial status has affected their ability to access medical care at some point. 15
16 Financial Wellness and MS A recent survey conducted by MSAA and NDI involving individuals with MS indicated: 71.7% of respondents do not have enough savings to cover 3 months expenses. 67.1% of respondents reported that their finances were worse since their MS diagnosis. 73.7% of Respondents reported that they were not aware of/have not used financial stability programs (EITC, IDA, FSS, PASS you will learn about these in subsequent webinars) 16
17 The Americans With Disabilities Act The Nation s proper goals regarding individuals with disabilities are to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for such individuals; 42 U.S.C. 1201(a)(8) (2005) the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis and to pursue those opportunities for which our free society is justifiably famous, and costs the United States billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses resulting from dependency and non-productivity. 42 U.S.C. 1201(a)(9) (2005) 17
18 For millions of working age adults with disabilities a dependence on public benefits for income, health care, food, and housing becomes a trap that requires staying poor to stay eligible 18

34 Predatory Lending Predatory or abusive lending practices can include: Packaging a loan with single-premium credit insurance products, such as credit life insurance, and not adequately disclosing the inclusion, cost, or any additional fees associated with the insurance. Repeatedly refinancing a loan within a short period of time, and charging high points and fees with each refinance. Charging excessive rates and fees to a borrower who qualifies for lower rates and/or fees offered by the lender. info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc. Some rights reserved.
35 Warning Signs of Predatory Mortgages Multiple refinancing, also called flipping A lender refinances a loan to generate fee income without providing any real benefit to the borrower. Unnecessary debt consolidation A predatory lender may collect fees by offering a debt consolidation loan that has little or no benefit to the borrower. Negative amortization A loan is structured so that the monthly payment is insufficient to cover accrued interest, which means that the outstanding loan balance increases every month. info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc.

36 Debtor Terminology Delinquent Payments Written notices that credit payments are past due. Default Notices If delinquent payments are not acknowledged, written notices are sent from the creditor warning that more serious steps will be taken if credit is not paid. Repossessions When the creditor takes back an item that has been purchased, because of nonpayment Credit Builders Alliance, Inc. Some rights reserved.
37 Debtor Terminology, cont d Judgment Lien When a creditor has received no response from previous attempts to collect a debt, the creditor may be able to obtain a court order placing a claim on property owned by the individual to recover the costs of the debt. Garnishment If the borrower does not pay the credit bills, the creditor may be able to obtain a court order requesting that an employer deduct a percentage of the employee s paycheck and send it to the creditor before the paycheck is given to the employee. Collection Agencies When a creditor has not received any response to written notices of nonpayment, the account can be turned over to a business that specializes in collecting unpaid debts. info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc.

38 Collection Agency Pointers Don t put your head in the sand Don t make promises you can t keep Don t send post-dated checks Attempt to negotiate a settlement Collectors may not call before 8am or after 9pm If you notify in writing, they may not contact you at work Don t accept no without speaking to a supervisor first info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc.

39 Bankruptcy Types of Bankruptcy Chapter 7 wipes out all allowable debts and allows certain personal property exemptions. The debtor gives up all property unless the state deems it necessary to support the debtor and his or her dependents. Eligibility is determined by a means test that measures income against expenses. Chapter 13 is a court-approved repayment plan. The debtor keeps all of his or her property and makes regular payments on the debts after filing for bankruptcy. Chapter 11 is typically used for business bankruptcies. It is not commonly used by individual consumers. info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc. Some rights reserved.
40 Tips for Good Credit Shop around for the best credit terms Understand the terms of the agreement before you sign Set a monthly limit for charges and stick to it Shop as carefully with credit as you do with cash Don t take on monthly credit payments you can t meet Pay bills promptly and in full to keep finance charges low info@creditbuildersalliance.org 2013 Credit Builders Alliance, Inc.
