Disability:IN North Carolina (DI-NC) welcomes you to a special B2B session focused on North Carolina Achieving a Better Life Experience (NC ABLE) accounts. On November 5, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., join us for a 90-minute-deep dive into how NC ABLE accounts help veterans with disabilities build wealth while protecting vital public benefits.
The session will include a Q&A segment. Eligibility has expanded: NC ABLE accounts, once limited to individuals whose disability began before age 26, are now available to anyone whose disability occurred before age 46—including veterans. The NC ABLE Program enables eligible individuals to save for qualified disability expenses without jeopardizing Medicaid, SSI, or other public supports. NC ABLE accounts allow veterans and their families to save and invest tax-free for disability expenses—without risking means-tested benefits such as VA pensions, SSI, or Medicaid.
