Jeyaram & Associates: Wills, Special Needs Trusts & Guardianship

This is exciting news for special needs families! This is an opportunity from the Georgia Department of Education to get reimbursed for expenses (up to $500) incurred over the past year to supplement or advance your child's learning and/or therapies that were impacted by COVID-19. According to the press release, "Expenses that have been identified as eligible for reimbursement are those that are necessary to meet the challenges these students face regarding educational achi...evement, personal development, and emotional wellbeing" The application is EXTREMELY straightforward. You will need the following: * School District Name * School Name * Last Name of student as registered in school district * GTID Georgia Testing Identifier (On your child’s report card.) * Scanned/Photo copies of Reimbursement expenses to be uploaded while submitting this application (Acceptable file formats include: .pdf, .jpg, .png).

This is a great opportunity to learn about NOW/COMP waivers - eligibility requirements, how to apply, and what’s covered. Thank you Parent to Parent of Georgia

Do you feel like you don't have anyone to be your child's guardian if something were to happen to you? This is the #1 reason families tell us they've put off putting into place a Special Needs Trust. They feel like they don't have anyone who would want to or could take care of their special needs child. We can help you identify the best possible option for your child as part of setting your Special Needs Trust. ... Please don't leave this important decision to a Judge.

Did you know? One of the common misconceptions about the NOW/COMP waivers is that they are for adults only. While it is true that many NOW/COMP services are aimed at older individuals, children may also qualify for the Waivers and can utilize those services more appropriate their age. We recommend applying for NOW/COMP waivers as soon as your child begins to receive Katie Beckett Medicaid or Medicaid.... The wait lists for NOW/COMP waivers are long and sometimes it takes years to get services. However, they are a significant source of long-term support.

Is this the reason you haven't put into place a will or special needs trust? Who will take care of my child if something happens to me? We've helped hundreds of families answer this important question and we'd love to help you - even if you think you don't have anyone. ... We're here to help you brainstorm and pick the right person.
