Beginning January 1, 2025…the annual ABLE contribution limit increases to $19,000.

About the Plan

There is no limit to what individuals with disabilities can do. Now, that includes saving, too. The State of Delaware offers a low cost 529(a) savings plan – DEPENDABLE – that allows individuals with disabilities and their families to save for a broad range of expenses on a tax-advantaged basis without jeopardizing their benefits from supplemental security income (SSI), Medicaid and other federal programs. Eligible individuals can open an account for themselves, or an authorized individual can open an account on their behalf.

Additional information about the plan, investments, risks, charges, expenses, eligibility and other important information are included in the Plan Disclosure Booklet.
