I am disabled and have a workers’ compensation or other settlement coming up, but I also have federal and state benefits. I have been told if I receive this money I can lose these benefits. What are my options?

In cases where you are disabled and expecting a workers’ compensation or other settlement, it's essential to consider how this might impact your federal and state benefits.

Consult with Experts

It's often beneficial to discuss your options with experts in settlement planning. Companies like Ametros can provide guidance on Special Needs Trusts and offer solutions tailored to your settlement situation. Seeking professional advice ensures that you make informed decisions about your future.

For more in-depth information, consider reaching out to a qualified advisor to discuss the intricacies of SNTs and their potential impact.
