STABLE Accounts enhance financial independence for people living with disabilities

April is ABLE to Save Month, and an opportunity to highlight the ways ABLE programs across the country are enhancing financial independence for people living with disabilities. Ohio’s iteration of an ABLE program—STABLE Account—is about empowering individuals and helping them to live more independently.

In honor of ABLE to Save Month, Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague introduced the STABLE Account Enrollment Incentive last April and is continuing promoting this impactful initiative for 2025. The incentive matches the first $25 contributed by eligible Ohioans when they open a new account. By providing this additional benefit, the Treasurer’s office aims to help new accountholders jumpstart their savings and investment journey.

STABLE Account empowers individuals with disabilities to save and invest with greater ease, helping them build a stronger and more secure financial future. Signing up for a STABLE Account takes just about 20 minutes and can be done online from the comfort of home. This program offers financial empowerment and security, supporting not only employment and long-term savings goals, but also overall financial well-being for individuals and families. Since its inception, the program has grown significantly, now serving over 46,000 accountholders who are actively saving and improving their lives.
