Planning for the future can be especially challenging when a loved one has a disability. Many families worry about how to provide long-term financial security without jeopardizing critical public benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medicaid. A Special Needs Trust (SNT), also known as a supplemental needs trust, offers a powerful and compassionate solution — one that preserves eligibility for essential benefits while ensuring funds are available for the individual’s unique needs and quality of life.
A Special Needs Trust is far more than a financial tool: it’s a promise of care, protection, and peace of mind. For those ready to explore this powerful planning option, PLAN of MA and RI can make all the difference in building a secure, sustainable future.
PLAN is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing professional trustee services for Special Needs Trusts and proudly serving people with all disabilities for over 50 years. Incorporated in 1971, PLAN of MA & RI is recognized today as an expert in Special Needs Trust administration.
