    Texas ABLE Program – A Savings Program for Texans with Disabilities
    The Texas ABLE Program: A savings program for Texans with disabilities. The Texas Achieving A Better Life Experience (Texas ABLE®) program gives Texans with disabilities and their families the opportunity to save for disability - related expenses in a tax-advantaged ABLE account. Your clients may be able to save for a loved one's disability expenses without affecting eligibility for public benefits.
     
    Funds in an ABLE account can be used to pay for qualified disability expenses that relate to the beneficiary disability and are used to maintain or improve his or her health, independence or quality of life. Texas ABLE is based on federal and state legislation and is maintained by the state through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
