ABLE National Resource Center

The ABLE National Resource Center is a collaborative whose supporters share the goal of accelerating the design and availability of ABLE accounts.

The ABLE National Resource Center (ANRC) is a collaborative that brings together the investment, support and resources of some of the country's largest and most influential national disability organizations in an effort to accelerate the design and availability of ABLE accounts to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. Founded and managed by National Disability Institute (NDI), the ANRC's goal is to provide consistent, reliable information concerning the benefits of an ABLE account. In addition, the ANRC aims to educate individuals with disabilities and their families, state government and legislatures, financial service companies and financial planners and attorneys - who focus on trust and estate planning - about ABLE’s potential positive impact on the lives of millions of Americans with disabilities.

Let's debunk another ABLE myth! 🤔 ✅

There is a common misconception that ABLE participation depends on whether your state has its own ABLE program. In many cases, that is not true.

Discover more ABLE myths vs. facts at https://www.ablenrc.org/what-is-able/debunking-able-myths/.

Image description: A green graphic with two sections labeled “Myth” and “Fact.” Under “Myth,” the text reads, “If my state does not have an ABLE program, there is no opportunity for me to participate in the program.” Under “Fact,” the text explains that regardless of where someone lives, they may be able to enroll in another state’s ABLE program as long as the program accepts out-of-state residents and the person has a Social Security number or a Tax Filing Identification Number.

Not sure what counts as a Qualified Disability Expense (QDE)? ABLE accounts offer flexibility, and many everyday costs may qualify — if they relate to your health, independence or quality of life.

From moving costs to clothing, gym memberships and more, QDEs can look different for every person depending on their needs and goals.

Explore how to determine whether an expense qualifies and get examples to guide your planning:
https://www.ablenrc.org/determining-whether-something-is-a-qualified-disability-expense-qde/

Image descriptions: A series of green ABLE NRC graphics explains examples of potential Qualified Disability Expenses. The first slide reads “Where your money can go: examples of potential Qualified Disability Expenses.” The following images show different examples with text labels, including a couple carrying moving boxes labeled “Moving Costs,” a gym filled with exercise equipment labeled “Gym Membership,” and a clothing rack with sweaters labeled “Clothing.”

Let's debunk another ABLE myth! An individual doesn't have to be under the age of 26 to be eligible to open an ABLE account.

Here’s the fact:
An individual of any age can open an ABLE account, as long as their disability began before their 26th birthday. And beginning in January 2026, eligibility expands to include individuals whose disability began before age 46.

Understanding ABLE rules can help individuals, families and service providers make informed financial decisions. Explore more common myths and the real facts behind them in ABLE NRC’s Debunking ABLE Myths resource: https://www.ablenrc.org/service-providers/debunking-able-myths/

Image description: A green graphic displays a “Myth versus Fact” message. At the top, a red X icon appears next to the word “Myth,” followed by the statement: “An individual must be under the age of 26 in order to have an ABLE account.” Below, a green check icon appears next to the word “Fact,” followed by: “An individual of any age may open an ABLE account, as long as the onset of disability was before the individual’s 26th birthday.” At the bottom, a note reads: “Please note, on 1/2026, the ABLE age of eligibility is expanded to include people who have a disability that began before age 46.”
