RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - The Internal Revenue Service is proposing regulations authorizing states to offer specially-designed tax-favored ABLE accounts to people with disabilities who became disabled before age 26.

The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) account provision was signed into law in December 2014 with the goal of helping people with disabilities and their families pay for disability-related expenses.

According to an IRS statement, the new law authorizes any state to offer its residents the option of setting up an ABLE account. Alternatively, a state may contract with another state that offers such accounts.
