Legal and Benefits Disclaimer

Roy Can Help is not legal advice. I am not a lawyer.

Laws and benefits rules are complex and vary dramatically by state, county, circumstance, and individual situation. What applies in one state may not apply in another. What was true last year may not be true this year.

The following topics especially require verification with official sources and qualified professionals:

  • Special education law and individual education plans (IEPs).
  • Guardianship and conservatorship.
  • Medicaid and other benefits programs.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
  • Special needs trusts and estate planning.
  • Tax implications of benefits and disability.
  • Financial planning and asset protection.

Do not sign guardianship documents, conservatorship papers, or any legal documents based only on information from this site. Do not transfer assets, create a trust, file an appeal, or make eligibility decisions based only on information here.

Before you take any major legal or financial action, consult with a qualified attorney or financial professional in your state who specializes in special education law, disability law, or benefits planning.
