Ohio Disability Planning Attorneys
Are you concerned about receiving disability benefits? Do you want to pass assets to a disabled child without compromising his or her eligibility for government assistance? With proper disability planning, you can help ensure that you receive and maintain the benefits you need, as well as protect and preserve assets for future generations.
Disability planning is about more than just receiving Medicaid or Social Security Disability. It involves organizing a variety of county, state, federal and other benefits for yourself, your spouse and your children. At Budish, Solomon, Steiner & Peck, LTD, we handle all aspects of disability planning from recovering VA benefits and planning special needs trusts, to preserving assets from a personal injury settlement. Our disability planning department is led by attorney Laurie Steiner.
If you would like to discuss your legal options regarding disability planning, please contact us to schedule a consultation. We will listen to your needs and goals, and help you form a disability plan that works best for your unique situation.
Understanding Disability Benefits
It is extremely important to know all of the benefits that are available to you and to understand their various purposes and structure. Once you possess this comprehensive insight, you can put together an effective disability plan for the future.
At Budish, Solomon, Steiner & Peck, LTD, we help clients understand the disability options available to them, the benefits of each option, and how to utilize them effectively. Some of these options include:
- Medicaid
- Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- VA benefits
- Long-term care insurance
- Reverse mortgages
- Long-term or short-term disability plans from your work or private insurance
We will thoroughly review your specific needs and help you apply for the benefits that meet your long-term goals.
We also will assist you with planning for any disabled children — such as setting up a special needs trust — so you can pass down assets without compromising their benefit eligibility. In addition, we can help structure assets won in a personal injury settlement so that you can continue to receive disability benefits.
