Vestwell Creates Hub for ABLE Accounts

Vestwell Holdings Inc. announced Thursday its new hub for ABLE [Achieving a Better Life Experience] accounts—savings plans for people with qualifying disabilities. Using the hub, organizations will be able to integrate ABLE programs directly into their financial benefits offerings.

At the start of the year, eligibility for ABLE accounts expanded to people whose disabilities began before age 46, up from the original cut-off age of 26.

“With the age-of-onset change, ABLE savings programs are entering a new era of possibility,” said Juliana Crist, Vestwell’s new head of ABLE programs, in a statement. “Financial independence should not depend on when your disability began, and this expansion gives millions of Americans a safe place to save without risking access to essential benefits.”

ABLE account owners can contribute up to $20,000 in 2026 and qualify for the IRS Saver’s Credit.
