Comptroller DiNapoli Highlights
the Benefits of NY ABLE

As State Comptroller, I am proud to administer New York’s ABLE program, which helps eligible New Yorkers with disabilities save without impacting Social Security, Medicaid or other government benefits. Funds saved in a NY ABLE account can help cover qualified disability-related expenses, such as education, housing, transportation and much more. In addition, with a NY ABLE account, you get the flexibility to decide how and how much you’d like to contribute.

NY ABLE may be able to help you or a loved one achieve more independence, greater financial security and a better quality of life. Find out about the NY ABLE Savings Program, including tax benefits and other considerations.
