What about government benefits for children with special needs?

Most children with special needs are entitled to government benefits such as Medicaid and SSI.  Both of these programs are “needs-based” which means that recipients must qualify financially in order to receive benefits.  In order to create a proper plan, you must first understand how these programs work.  In order to ensure that the transition between the parents and the successor caregivers is seamless, the special needs plan must address the preservation of your child’s benefits.
