FAQ Corner

Will there be changes to ABLE accounts in the future?

• In April 2017, members of congress re-introduced three ABLE improvement bills including an age adjustment bill increasing the age of qualification from 26 to 46; a bill to allow families to roll over 529 accounts into ABLE accounts; and a bill to allow working adults with disabilities to contribute more than the $14,000 annual cap into their ABLE accounts.
