You can use money from an ABLE account for housing expenses. If you’re eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the money must be used within the month it was withdrawn so it doesn’t count as income for the month in determining your SSI eligibility. Plus, having an ABLE account doesn’t affect other housing benefits, like Section 8.
Once you are ready to open an account, you can do so here online. When opening an Alabama ABLE account, be sure to have information about the beneficiary, qualifying disability, and how the ABLE account will be funded. Learn more about who can open an account and all the benefits of having one — or if you’re ready to get started, open one today!
