Understanding First Party Special Needs Trusts

FIRST-PARTY SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS

OUR DEVOTED TEAM IS HERE TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS

Managing your finances isn’t always easy, especially when it comes to planning for a future that involves costly medical bills, nursing home care, special dietary needs, and so on. If you receive Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, or other special funding from similar programs, you might feel comfortable with your current financial state, but it’s important to ensure you’re protected for the future.

With a special needs trust, you can plan for your future and secure long-term financial stability, all while preserving your eligibility for programs like Medicaid and SSI. Depending on your financial situation and your individual needs, these trusts can help protect your assets and your eligibility. Plus, these structured trusts can help make money management significantly easier on your caretaker(s).

Understanding Special Needs Trusts

Special needs trusts are specifically designed to help individuals who are dealing with a disability caused by some type of injury. These trusts are dictated by state and federal laws, and they allow the injured person to move their settlement into the trust to help pay for future expenses while still maintaining the injured person’s eligibility for necessary programs. With a special needs trust, someone could use the allocated funds for, nursing care, medical needs, dental expenses, dietary needs, and any extra therapies or rehabilitation programs.

Unlike similar financial planning tools, a special needs trust will not count against the disabled individual, which means they can still qualify for Medicaid, the State Medicaid Waiver Program, Supplemental Security Income, and other private care programs that base their eligibility requirements on Medicaid.
