Программа MO ABLE в Миссури установила рекорд: более 1,4 тыс. счетов и 15 млн долларов активов

Missouri has revealed record-breaking numbers for its MO ABLE program in the past year. The office of State Treasurer Vivek Malek announced 2025 was the most successful year for the program since its creation, with nearly 1,400 new accounts and more than $15 million in assets. The program gives Missourians with disabilities and their families access to tax-advantaged savings accounts, called STABLE accounts. The goal of MO ABLE is to provide more investment security for disabled individuals without the threat of losing access to government benefits. Any Missourian who developed a qualifying disability before the age of 46 is eligible for a STABLE account. Account holders can invest up to $20,000 annually, and nearly twice that amount if they are employed. Qualified expenses for money in a MO ABLE account include living expenses, education, housing and legal fees, among others. The program has grown in prominence since its launch in 2017. The treasurer's office attributed the record growth last year to increased efforts to raise awareness about MO ABLE for Missouri stakeholders. The state worked with organizations like service providers and schools to share the benefits of owning an account. Additionally, expansions of the program made it more beneficial to the families of Missourians with disabilities, such as easier access for children in foster care. The changes helped broaden the scope of the program. "These record-breaking results mean more Missourians with disabilities and their families are saving, investing and preparing for the future," Malek said. "I am committed to continuing to increase the visibility, access, and awareness of this program. By expanding our partnerships with local, state, and federal leaders, as well as advocates and community organizations across Missouri, we can continue growing MO ABLE and build toward another record-breaking year in 2026."
