Who can have a STABLE account through the Palmetto ABLE Savings Program?

Any resident of South Carolina who developed a disability or blindness before the age of 26 and is eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, or has a signed Diagnosis Form from a licensed physician, can have a STABLE account through the Palmetto ABLE Savings Program. If you are over 18 years old, you can open your own account; if not, an Authorized Legal Representative can do it. Either way, you can have only one ABLE account at a time.
