Participants save up to $2000 over the
course of 1 to 3 years. For every dollar saved into their account, up
to $2000, Dream$avers matches it with 3 dollars. This means that a
participant can save $2000 and receive $6000 in matched funds. For those
participants who need to save from 6 to 12 months, the maximum amount
they can save is $1000 and the maximum match is $3000. The matched funds
are reserved in a separate account and are not deposited into the
participants account.
