2026: The Year of New ABLE Opportunities
This session covers the most significant ABLE updates for 2026—including the largest expansion of ABLE eligibility since the program began, along with increased annual contribution limits.
Beginning January 1, 2026, individuals whose qualifying medical condition began before age 46 are eligible to open an ABLE account. This landmark change significantly expands access to ABLE accounts for millions of people, including many Veterans and individuals with later-onset disabilities.
