Maintaining SSI Eligibility Once the SNT is Created (Feb 2017)
Mission control: We have a trust! And the beneficiary has certain disabilities. How do you maintain eligibility and still provide quality of life distributions? Explore best practices and strategies for you and your client, including an initial meeting to set goals and control expectations, documenting the file with court orders and agency correspondence regarding payment of subrogation liens, obtaining a copy of the notice of change of circumstance (e.g., existence of a trust) that was filed with the relevant agencies, tips for establishing “safety nets” prior to reporting, sample notice language, potential distributions, and much more.
