Seminar will cover:

Did you know that if you give a person with special needs more than $2,000 a year in his or her own name, that person may be disqualified for government benefits?

Fortunately, there are ways to protect those benefits. A Special Needs Trust is one of the key ways for your disabled loved one to receive an inheritance or gifts and still be eligible for Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
• Preventing the loss of government benefits, including Supplemental Security Income
• Providing additional income to facilitate a better quality of life
• The role of a trustee and how to select one
• Balancing the needs of other family members and beneficiaries

**Light refreshments will be served. Network with folk from local support groups and agencies. Many resources will be available.
