Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE Act)/NY Access Pass

The NY ABLE Program is a savings and investment plan that helps families and individuals with disabilities pay for medical and living expenses to maintain health, independence and quality of life.

This plan is intended to supplement benefits from programs like Medicaid, SSI and private insurance. Like a college savings account, there is no federal tax on savings added to a NY ABLE account, provided the funds are used to pay for qualified disability expenses.
