US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

If you are interested in selling your pi coins, i have a verified pi merchant, who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
Because the core team has announced that pi network will not be doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges like huobi, bitmart and hotbit can get pi is by buying from miners.
Now a merchant stands in between these exchanges and the miners. As a link to make transactions smooth. Because right now in the enclosed mainnet you can't sell pi coins your self. You need the help of a merchant,
i will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant below. 👇 I and my friends has traded more than 3000pi coins with him successfully.

7. The ABLE Act is Law
The Stephen Beck, Jr.
Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act
o Became law on December 19, 2014
o Creates a new option for some people with I/DD and
their families to save for the future, while protecting
eligibility for public benefits.
Presentation is based on what we know or presume now –
much is yet to be determined.
7
8. What is an ABLE Account?
• ABLE accounts:
o Established in the new Section 529A Qualified ABLE Programs
o Qualified savings accounts that receive preferred federal tax
treatment, similar to 529 college savings accounts
o Enable eligible individuals to save for disability related expenses
o Are generally NOT yet available; there are still some unknowns
o Have advantages and disadvantages over other savings options
• Distributions will not count as income to beneficiary or contributor.
• Assets in account and distributions will be disregarded or given
special treatment in determining eligibility for most federal means-
tested benefits.
o Focus today on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid
8
9. When will ABLE accounts be available?
• Federal regulations:
o IRS published proposed regulations June 22.
o Public comments due September 21.
• States may offer ABLE accounts before federal regulations
become final.
• Each state must decide whether (and how) to offer a qualified
ABLE program to residents – some have enacted; others
considering authorizing legislation now.
• ABLE program availability will vary from state to state.
9
10. Who can be an ABLE
account beneficiary?
To be eligible, individuals must meet two requirements:
1) Age requirement: must be disabled before age 26
2) Severity of disability:
› Have been determined to meet disability requirements
for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security
disability benefits,
OR
› Submit a certification that meets criteria (essentially
equal to Social Security level of disability) to be further
established in regulations, including physician’s diagnosis.
[“Disability” includes the Social Security definition of “blindness”]
10
11. What are some important requirements
of an ABLE account?
• Each individual may have only one ABLE account.
• “Designated beneficiary” is account owner.
• Account must be established in designated beneficiary’s state
of residence, or in contracting state.
• Total annual contributions may not exceed federal gift tax
limit--currently $14,000.
• Multiple individuals may make contributions to one ABLE
account.
• Aggregate contributions may not exceed state limit for 529
savings accounts.
11
12. What can ABLE account funds
be used for?
• Qualified disability expenses, related to individual’s disability and
made for his/her benefit, including:
12
• Education
• Housing
• Transportation
• Legal fees
• Employment training and support
• Assistive technology and personal
support services
• Health, prevention, and wellness
• Financial management and
administrative services
• Expenses for oversight and monitoring
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Any other expenses approved by
Secretary of the Treasury under
regulations consistent with purpose of
the program
• Expenditures for non-qualified expenditures will be penalized (tax
and potential SSI penalties).
13. How do ABLE account assets impact
eligibility for SSI benefits?
• The first $100,000 in ABLE account assets will be disregarded.
o SSI cash payments will be suspended if beneficiary’s
account balance exceeds $100,000 - but SSI benefits
(eligibility) will not be terminated. Funds above $100,000
will be treated as resources.
o Housing expenses will receive same treatment as all
housing costs paid by outside sources (SSI benefits subject
to reduction of [up to] 1/3 federal SSI payment, as
applicable).
13
14. How do ABLE account assets impact
eligibility for Medicaid benefits?
• ABLE assets are disregarded in determining Medicaid eligibility.
o Medicaid benefits are NOT suspended if account balance
exceeds $100,000.
o Medicaid Payback: Any assets remaining in account when a
beneficiary dies, subject to outstanding qualified disability
expenses, will be used to reimburse a state for Medicaid
payments made on behalf of beneficiary after creation of ABLE
account.
o For purposes of this section, the state is considered a creditor of
the ABLE account, not a beneficiary.
14
15. Tax Implications
• Contributions to an ABLE account are made with after-tax
dollars.
• Federal taxation: In general, ABLE programs are exempt from
taxation. Distributions for qualified disability expenses are
exempt from taxation. With certain exceptions, other
distributions are taxable and subject to additional 10% tax.
• State taxation: State tax consequences will vary. Some states
provide tax incentives for contributions to 529 accounts and
may provide similar incentives for contributions to ABLE
accounts.
15
16. What are some advantages of
ABLE accounts?
• Easy to set up and administer
• Designated beneficiary is the owner
• More individual choice and control over spending
• Allows SSI beneficiaries to have more assets to use for
disability related needs
• Preferred tax treatment of distributions
• Another tool to use in a broader planning context
16
17. What are some considerations to be
aware of about ABLE accounts?
• Age limitation disqualifies many people.
• ABLE accounts may not work for many eligible people
• Contribution limits – both annual and aggregate.
• Limitation on distributions to disability-related expenses.
• Because designated beneficiary is owner of account, all
contributions become subject to Medicaid payback (these
are/become 1st party funds).
• Unlike a trust, ABLE accounts cannot own a house (but can be
used to pay expenses).
• Designated beneficiaries may need ongoing advice and
assistance on expenditures and rules.
17
18. Additional Considerations
• Too early to know how ABLE program will be implemented by
IRS and SSA.
o IRS regulations still in proposed stage.
• ABLE accounts may work for some, not others.
• Some may benefit from using ABLE accounts along with a
trust.
• Some designated beneficiaries of ABLE accounts will need
ongoing advice and assistance on expenditures and rules.
• Education will be key.
18
19. State Legislation
• Federal regulations not final
• Advocates’ suggested minimum state requirements:
o Authorization of 529A ABLE program (or authority to
contract)
o Consistent with federal law, including definitions
o Designation of state agency
o Exemption of state means-tested programs
o Exemption of ABLE accounts from state taxes
• Many states moving ahead – IRS assurance of transition period
