Am I eligible for a STABLE account through the Palmetto ABLE Savings Program?

In 2022, the U.S. Congress passed the ABLE Age Adjustment Act. This legislation increases the age of onset for a qualifying disability from age 26 to age 46 effective January 1, 2026, opening the door for many more people to qualify for ABLE accounts.
