More Arkansans qualify for disability savings
Beginning January 1, 2026, Arkansas raises the disability onset-age limit for Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) accounts from 26 to 46. This opens access to people whose qualifying blindness or disability began at ages 26 through 45. One path requires entitlement to Social Security Title II or Title XVI benefits based on blindness or disability. The other requires a disability certification filed with the U.S. Treasury Secretary for the tax year by you or your parent or guardian. That certification must show blindness under Social Security rules, or a physical or mental impairment causing marked and severe limits on daily functioning. The impairment must be expected to cause death, or have lasted or be expected to last at least 12 continuous months. The certification must include a diagnosis signed by a physician who meets Social Security's requirements.
