Types of Trust We Administer

Pooled Trusts

Pooled Trusts are a means to provide the benefits of a special needs trust, without having to set up and administer a separate trust.

A pooled trust is managed by a non for profit organization. The assets of each member in the pooled trust are pooled together for investment purposes, thereby allowing for more stable investments and a more streamlined approach to administering the trust disbursements. SCS Trust Services supports individuals in the administration of 1st & 3rd party pooled trusts.

01

Why should I join a Pooled Trust?

Under current New York Medicaid law, income in excess of the monthly Medicaid allowance must first be spent down on home care or medical expenses prior to receiving Medicaid coverage. Unfortunately, the guidelines do not exempt living expenses, such as rent, food, clothes, or utility services when calculating an applicant's excess income. As a result, Medicaid recipients may not have a sufficient amount of funds to maintain their standard monthly living expenses.


02

What are the terms of eligibility?

Trust accounts must be established for the sole benefit of the disabled beneficiary.

The beneficiary or authorized representative must submit a completed and signed joinder agreement. You can request information or a joinder agreement by calling.

A beneficiary must be disabled as defined by law.

Income deposited to the trust account must belong to the beneficiary.
