It is very important for a child (minor or adult) to access all available government services such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid.
There are numerous exceptions and planning options that will allow a child with special needs to access these government programs. It is also critical that parents consider a Supplemental Needs Trust for their child as well as Guardianship, if necessary.
