ABLE accounts are financial tools that support greater financial empowerment and options for people with disabilities. Individuals whose disability started before age 46 can use an ABLE account to save money while protecting their eligibility for public benefits programs.

ABLE enrollees can save beyond resource limits set by benefits programs, helping them to plan for their long-term financial well-being. For example, individuals with disabilities on SSI can save up to $100,000 in an ABLE account without impacting their SSI.

Join us for this educational webinar to learn from experts about ABLE accounts, Social Security benefits, how they interact, and how ABLE accounts can help you save and keep your benefits.

During this webinar, you will learn:

  1. Who is eligible to use an ABLE account.

  2. How to set up, manage, and use an ABLE account.

  3. How ABLE accounts can help people on SSI save more than the $2,000 resource limit

  4. How you can use an ABLE account to receive money from others without reducing SSI.

  5. How ABLE accounts can help with other public benefits, too.
