Settlement Funds and Special Needs Planning Attorney in Orange County, CA

Have you received a settlement from a personal injury or accident case? Special needs planning may be required to ensure you do not lose your public benefits.

If an individual is injured in a work-related accident and becomes disabled, receiving settlement funds directly can jeopardize eligibility for government benefits. In many cases, the best option is to establish a Special Needs Trust to hold the settlement funds. This allows the individual to benefit from the settlement while remaining eligible for public assistance programs.

Unfortunately, many people are unaware that receiving a settlement, inheritance, or lump-sum payment while receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or Medi-Cal benefits can result in the loss of those benefits if the funds are not handled properly.
