Hello and welcome to MEFA’s series about qualified disability expenses, sometimes called QDEs, for Attainable, the Massachusetts able savings plan that helps individuals with disabilities save for the future. Today, we’ll be talking about qualified housing expenses. You can use your Attainable account to pay for the following qualified housing expenses.

Rent, including first and last month’s rent payments, and your security deposit. Mortgage and house down payments, which also includes property insurance required by the mortgage holder. Real property taxes. These are property taxes for the land plus the buildings and fixtures permanently attached to it.

This is as opposed to personal property taxes, which are for things that travel with you when you move. Fuel for heat. As well as gas and electricity, water and sewer, and garbage removal. To learn more about Attainable, contact us at 844-458-2253 or visit mefa.org/able.
