CalABLE is a tax-advantaged savings program for people with disabilities. CalABLE is gearing up for its December 18 and 19 launch events in Berkeley and Los Angeles that will mark the unveiling of this life-changing program. A CalABLE account allows anyone who became disabled before age 26 to save up to $15,000 a year without having that money count against the $2,000 asset limit for means-tested programs like SSI and Medicaid.
