Special Needs Trust/Arc Pooled Trust Fund

Find out about the effect that new assets or income will have on present or future receipt of public benefits before finalizing your financial plans.

Information about Special Needs Trust Funds is available at the Arc of Oregon web site: www.arcoregon.org.  Private attorneys knowledgeable about special needs trust funds may also advise you about financial planning.

Special Needs Trusts may be used for providing funds that can be used for supplemental needs without affecting eligibility for public benefits such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The Arc of Oregon offers a Special Needs Trust.
