Beyond the Basics: Live ABLE Q&A with the Experts
Date & Time: Thursday, June 25, 2026 | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern Time | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Central Time.
Description:
ABLE National Resource Center is hosting another live, interactive webinar focused on answering real-world ABLE account questions from individuals, families, professionals and supporters. During our April 2026 “Ask the Experts” webinar, we received more than 200 questions through registration submissions, post-webinar surveys, and the live Q&A box. Given the interest in the Q&A format and the volume of questions, this follow-up session will build on foundational ABLE knowledge and explore more advanced topics that current ABLE account owners and their supporters often encounter as they navigate saving, investing and long-term financial planning.
Experts will provide practical guidance and insights on topics such as:
- Account management strategies
- Contributions and rollover questions
- Investment considerations
- ABLE & Trusts working together
- Special considerations related to public benefits
- Saving and planning for long-term financial goals.
Guest experts from across the ABLE industry:
- JJ Hanley — Deputy Chief Officer Financial Products, Illinois ABLE.
- Thomas Hatch — Operations Manager, STABLE Accounts, Ohio Treasurer Office
- With experts from the National Disability Institute’s (NDI) ABLE National Resource Center:
- Jody Ellis – Director, ABLE National Resource Center
- Laurie Schaller – Manager, Financial Empowerment
- Marlene Ulisky – Manager, Financial Empowerment

Whether you are actively managing an ABLE account, supporting a loved one or helping others navigate financial decisions, this session is designed to provide clarity and trusted information. Bring your ABLE questions and join the conversation.
