Which expenses are allowed by ABLE accounts? <br />A "qualified disability expense" means any expense related to the <br />designated beneficiary as a result of living a life with disabilities. Thesd <br />may include education, housing, transportation, employment training <br />and support, assistive technology, personal support services, health <br />care expenses, financial management and administrative services and <br />other expenses which help improve health, independence, and/or <br />quality of life. <br />i.. Can I have more than one ABLE account? <br />No. The ABLE Act limits the opportunity to one ABLE account per <br />eligible individual. <br />7. Do I have to wait for my state to establish a program before opening an <br />account? <br />No. While the original law passed in 2014 did stipulate that an <br />individual had to open an account in their state of residency, this <br />provision was eliminated by Congress in 2015. This means that <br />regardless of where you might live and whether or not your state has <br />decided to establish an ABLE program, you are free to enroll in any <br />state's program provided that the program is accepting out of state <br />residents. <br />To determine which state ABLE programs are accepting out of state <br />programs, please refer to the individual state pages. Examples of state <br />ABLE programs accepting enrollment nationwide include: Ohio, <br />Nebraska, and Tennessee. An example of a state ABLE program only <br />accepting in-state residents would include the Florida ABLE United <br />program. <br />8. Will states offer options to invest the savings contributed to an ABLE <br />account? <br />Like state 529 college savings plans, states do offer qualified <br />individuals and families multiple options to establish ABLE accounts <br />
