Eligibility

You may be eligible to open an Enable account if you have a disability or blindness that started before age 46, and one of these is true:

  1. You are eligible for or currently receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) because of your blindness or disability; or
  2. You are eligible for or currently receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) because of your blindness or disability; or
  3. You certify that you meet the disability rules. This means:
    • You are blind, or you have a physical or mental condition that greatly limits your daily activities; and
    • The condition has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months or is expected to result in death; and
    • You have a diagnosis signed by a doctor and keep a copy for your records.

You do not need to receive government benefits to qualify.
