For Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits only, you can have up to $100,000 in the account before the funds start to count against the $2,000 asset limit.
Other federal and Alabama state means-tested benefits are not affected, regardless of the balance in the account.
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.
