Can I make a direct deposit into an ABLE account?

Users can contribute to their accounts using fast, secure direct deposits from either the Social Security Administration or their paycheck.

Complete the setup process in three simple steps:

  1. Log in to your ABLE account and click on “Direct Deposit” on the Total Balance tile. Or, once logged in, go to “Transfers > Direct Deposit.”

  2. Enter your information and retrieve your unique direct deposit details, including your routing and account number.

  3. Complete the process by:

a) Federal Benefit Direct Deposit: Updating your direct deposit details with the SSA. If you are receiving SSI benefits, you will need to update your direct deposit details by phone at +1 800-772-1213 (for TTY call +1 800-325-0778) or by visiting your local Social Security Administration office.

OR

b) Payroll Direct Deposit: Providing your employer with the direct deposit details, the same as you would with your own checking or savings account
