The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program was created to encourage and assist individuals and families in saving funds for the purpose of supporting individuals with disabilities to maintain health, independence and quality of life; and to provide secure funding for qualified disability expenses on behalf of designated beneficiaries with disabilities that will supplement, but not supplant, benefits provided through private insurance, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, the Medicaid program, the beneficiary’s employment and other sources.
The federal ABLE Act was signed into law in December 2014. The Texas ABLE Program was signed into law in June 2015. The Texas Comptroller’s office will administer the Texas ABLE Program through the Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board.
