Through the Vermont ABLE program, the Vermont Treasurer's Office is offering STABLE Accounts to Vermonters with disabilities. STABLE Accounts allow individuals with disabilities to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefits programs, like Medicaid, SSI, or SSDI. Earnings in your STABLE Account are not subject to federal income tax, so long as you spend them on qualified disability expenses.
