Special Needs Trust & SSI

I saw this Elder Law article about Special Needs Trusts. There are some financial considerations you must consider when looking to create a Special Needs Trust. There are also a variety of factors that impact SSI and Medicaid.

For those that are not familiar with a Special Needs Trust:
Did you know that Federal law allows a disabled person's fund to be place in an irrevocable d(4) trust? A restriction is the disabled person must be under the age of 65. Also, the trust can be established by a parent, grandparent, legal guardian, or by a circuit court judge.

If you get a chance, check out the article.

I am disabled, is SSI, SSDI right for me?

If you're disabled, you may qualify for SSI or SSDI benefits. If you've had doubts about applying, you may want to reconsider. Every day you wait can result in a loss of benefits, that's because you are eligible for benefits from the day you become disabled. There is a cap on this of about one year, so saying you became disabled in 1975 won't help for 2008.

There are several ways you can apply for SSI and SSDI benefits. These methods include:

  • Walking into a Social Security Office and fill out a disability application
  • Calling Social Security from their toll free number: 1-800-772-1213
  • Applying online at ssa.gov
Will you need a Social Security lawyer for your application? Perhaps. That's for you to decide. If are are considering involving a lawyer you'll be refreshed to learn how the Social Security attorney fees work. Below is some more information about Social Security lawyers.
