ABLE National Resource Center

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.

Who can open an ABLE account?

If a person’s disability began before age 46, they may be eligible to open an ABLE account. Eligibility is based on meeting disability severity requirements through SSI or SSDI, or certification from a licensed physician.

Image description: A green graphic with white text explains who is eligible to open an ABLE account. The heading reads, “Who is eligible to open an ABLE account?” The text states that individuals may open an ABLE account if their disability began before age 46 and they meet disability severity requirements by either receiving Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance, or by having a licensed physician certify that they have marked and severe functional limitations that began before age 46.

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.
