Who can open an ABLE account?

An ABLE account is a savings account made for people with disabilities. You may be able to open one if:

You have a qualifying disability.

Your disability started before age 46.

If your disability started later in life, you may now qualify thanks to new government rules.

An ABLE account helps you save money for future needs while keeping your healthcare and monthly benefit income safe.
