Basics and Benefits
With IAble, you can save for qualified disability expenses without losing your eligibility for certain assistance programs, like SSI and Medicaid. The earnings on your investments are federally tax-deferred and tax-free, if used for qualified disability expenses.
COVID-19 Response
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, preparations and contingency planning have been underway regarding your ABLE plan to continue to provide and maintain the level of customer service you have come to expect. During this time, customers may potentially experience temporary delays or longer wait times with our customer service.

Before investing in any qualified ABLE program, you should consider whether your home state offers a qualified ABLE program that provides its taxpayers with favorable state tax and other benefits that are only available through investment in the home state's qualified ABLE program. You also should consult your financial, tax, or other adviser to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to directly contact your home state's qualified ABLE program, or any other qualified ABLE program, to learn more about those plans' features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.
The Member Plan is sponsored by the state of Iowa and administered by Treasurer of the State. The Member Plan is one of the qualified ABLE plans issued by the Ascensus ABLE Consortium Trust. Ascensus College Savings Recordkeeping Services, LLC, the Program Manager, and its affiliates have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations, including investment advisory, recordkeeping and administrative services. The Member Plan offers a series of investment options within the Ascensus ABLE Consortium Trust. The Member Plan is intended to operate as a qualified ABLE plan to be used only to save for Qualified Disability Expenses, pursuant to the Section 529A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
