An ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) account is a specialized, tax-advantaged savings and investment account for individuals with disabilities. It allows eligible individuals to save money for everyday expenses and long-term goals without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential means-tested government programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

ABLE National Resource Center is hosting a live, interactive webinar focused on answering real-world ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) account questions from individuals, families, professionals and supporters. During our April 2026 “Ask the Experts” webinar, we received more than 200 questions through registration submissions, post-webinar surveys and the live Q&A box. Given the interest in the Q&A format and the volume of questions, this follow-up session will build on foundational ABLE knowledge and explore more advanced topics that current ABLE account owners and their supporters often encounter as they navigate saving, investing and long-term financial planning.
Experts will provide practical guidance and insights on topics such as:
• Account management strategies
• Contributions and rollover questions
• Investment considerations
• ABLE & Trusts working together
• Special considerations related to public benefits
• Saving and planning for long-term financial goals
Guest experts from across the ABLE industry:
• JJ Hanley — Deputy Chief Officer Financial Products, Illinois ABLE
