Special Needs Trusts & ABLE accounts

Legal tools so savings or inheritance don't disqualify benefits.

Best for

Any family with assets to leave or save.

How to access

  1. Talk to a special needs attorney (PLAN of NY, NYSARC Trust Services).
  2. Open an ABLE account at NYABLE.ny.gov.

Reality check

Even modest savings can disqualify SSI/Medicaid without these.
