LA ABLE

LA ABLE

The Louisiana Achieving a Better Life Experience (LA ABLE) is a savings program enacted in 2014. This program designed to help individuals with disabilities put aside money to pay for qualified disability expenses.

The primary purpose of the ABLE Act is to encourage and assist individuals and families in saving private funds for the purpose of supporting individuals with disabilities to maintain health, independence, and quality of life.

Start saving money AND keep your benefits!

The money deposed into this account is disregarded when determining eligibility for federal benefit programs, such as Medicaid and Social Security!
