A variety of government benefit programs are available to people who suffer from disabilities. Many of these programs, including Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"), food stamps, and public housing, have financial eligibility requirements.

Lamson & Cutner advises people on how to become - and remain - eligible for government programs for the disabled. Disability Planning often involves Supplemental Needs Trusts and other strategies that permit disabled persons to benefit from gifts, bequests, and recoveries in lawsuits, in ways that do not compromise their eligibility for these government programs.
