Special Assistance Network attends seminar on "Maximizing Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security Benefits"

The Special Assistance Network was pleased to attend a seminar on “Maximizing Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security Benefits” sponsored by Legal Education CLE. The seminar discussed the latest updates in the area of trust and estate planning and how to maximize Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security Benefits which is important when dealing with family members in the current changing regulatory environment. There was discussion on essential spend-down techniques, Medicare/Medicaid eligibility and benefits, qualifying for various government benefits, and understanding the Medicare/Medicaid process that can be beneficial for individuals in a family that may need assistance if qualified. This information was helpful in advising our clients with Special Needs and the individual dynamics that occur in many families that the Special Assistance Network advises.
