When Congress passed the original Stephen Beck, Jr. Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 (ABLE Act), people with disabilities thought they could now lift themselves out of poverty, no longer subject to archaic program rules governing the services they rely on to live in their communities and work. But millions of people with disabilities – many of whom had advocated for the ABLE Act for nearly a decade - were left behind. Last minute cost constraints led to ABLE accounts being limited to only people whose disabilities onset before age 26.
Despite the introduction of the ABLE Age Adjustment Act in every Congress since the passage of the original ABLE Act, people with disabilities that began after age 26 still cannot use ABLE accounts to save for disability related expenses. It is long past time for Congress to pass the ABLE Age Adjustment Act and expand access to ABLE accounts!
