      What Is A Special Needs Trust?

      A special needs trust is a unique type of trust that is set up to provide financial support for people with physical or mental disabilities. Special needs trusts are usually administered by a family member of the beneficiary of the trust, and money isn’t given directly to the special needs person. Instead, the trustee will pay for necessities (services and products).

      Medicaid And Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Eligibility

      If someone you love is currently receiving Medicaid benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, these benefits are paying for their healthcare needs, which are typically extremely expensive. Receiving a lump sum of money or other assets from your estate could jeopardize those government benefits, ultimately harming the beneficiary. Other types of benefits that could be lost, if a special needs trust isn’t set up properly, are vocational rehab benefits and subsidized housing.

      Who Can Benefit From A Special Needs Trusts

      Typically, special needs trusts are set up to benefit people who have physical or mental disabilities, and can’t manage their own finances, including:

      • children (minors and adults)
      • spouses
      • parents
      • other relatives
