Reduced Fees!
The Annual Account Maintenance Fee (billed quarterly) was lowered to $8.25 for IAble Account Owners enrolled in electronic delivery statements. For paper delivery, the fee was reduced to $14.50. Account Owners will see the change reflected in their April account statements. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us.
Opening an Account
Recent ABLE regulations expanded the list of Authorized Individuals who can open an ABLE account to make for a much easier enrollment process. No backup documentation is required to prove you have Financial Authority to act on behalf of the ABLE Account Owner, but you must certify under penalties of perjury and notify IAble if your authority expires or is removed.

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.
