"Assets for Independence Act Amendments of 2000"
Section-by-Section Summary
NOTE: Except where otherwise specified, references in this summary to provisions of law are
references to provisions of the Assets for Independence Act (the Act), title IV of the Community
Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and Educational Services Act of 1998.
SEC. 3. MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS UNAVAILABLE FOR EMERGENCY
WITHDRAWALS.
This section amends section 404(5)(A) (which defines the term "Individual Development
Account" (IDA) and specifies required IDA elements), in clause (v), to eliminate language which
permits use of matching contributions by the qualified entity serving as IDA trustee for
emergency withdrawals. As amended, clause (v) would permit use of matching contributions
only for qualified expenses (as defined in section 404(8)). The amendment would eliminate the
inconsistency between section 404(5)(A)(v) as currently drafted and section 404(3), which
defines the term "emergency withdrawal" to mean a withdrawal by the eligible individual of
some or all of the funds deposited by that individual for specified emergency situations.
SEC. 4. ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED ENTITIES.
This section amends section 404(7) (the definition of "qualified entity") to expand the category
of entities cligible to operate IDA programs under the Act to include low-income credit unions
(as designated by the National Credit Union Administration) and organizations designated as
community development financial institutions by the Secretary of the Treasury (or the
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund).
SEC. 5. UNLIMITED HOME PURCHASE COSTS; PURCHASE OF AUTOMOBILE
AS QUALIFIED EXPENSES.
Section 5(a) amends section 407(8)(B) (which includes the purchase of a first home in the
definition of "qualified expenses" for which IDA funds can be withdrawn by the participant) to
eliminate the purchase price limit (currently 100 percent of the average arca purchase price for
such a residence).
Subsection (b) adds to section 407(8) a new subparagraph (D), providing that the purchase of an
automobile is a qualified expense for which IDA funds can be withdrawn.
SEC. 6. INCREASED SET-ASIDE FOR ECONOMIC LITERACY TRAINING AND
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.
