A Special Needs Trust gives you the ability to coordinate public benefits your child receives from the government with private resources. It is a marriage between public and private funding for your child in the event you are not longer able to provide care for your child. Careful planning for a Special Needs Trust can allow your disabled child to become and remain eligible for need-based government benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income, while permitting the use of personal family resources that can be used for nonbasic needs and quality of life extras (vacations, sporting events, camp, travel expenses, games/toys, entertainment, grooming supplies, uninsured medical or dental services etc).
