**What is an ABLE account and who is eligible to open one?**

ABLE accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities. They are designed to help people with disabilities build financial security without risking their benefits. Eligibility is generally based on the age of the onset of disability and the severity of the disability. For more precise information, we encourage you to consult a qualified professional or your benefits administrator.

**Can opening an ABLE account lead to loss of SSI or Medicaid benefits?**

Generally, the funds in an ABLE account are not counted towards the SSI or Medicaid eligibility limit. However, there are exceptions and certain rules that must be followed to maintain these benefits. As we only provide educational information, we recommend consulting a qualified professional or your benefits administrator for personalized advice.

**What are Qualified Disability Expenses that can be paid using ABLE account funds?**

Qualified Disability Expenses are any expenses related to the designated beneficiary’s blindness or disability. This can include education, housing, transportation, employment training, assistive technology, personal support services, health, prevention and wellness, financial management, legal fees, and more.
