Hint for building wealth: if you inherit a few hundred thousand while on section 8, use the Hud housing loan program and buy a house. Stop giving someone else 1/3 of your income with zero equity in return if you are given the chance.

I live in Georgia; You forgot to mention HUD Section 811 housing program for people with disabilities has not implemented an asset limit. I been in my HUD Section 811 housing since 2011. I been work the whole time except a 2 year gap I was unemployed. In 2020 I inherited $325,000 . I choice not to create a Special Needs because HUD counts the whole withdraw in calculating rent; vs only $13,000 a year in dividend and interest income. I also chose not to create a Special Needs Trust because of the higher tax rate and expenses like vacations do not count a qualified expense.

@@martinguldner3990 Special Needs Trusts (SNT) are very different from other Trusts. 1) non-revocable: you give all $ to the trust forever! 2) SNT never GIVES you $: $ is paid by Trust for certain expenses outlined in Trust....essentially pays specific bills (not paying you, though). 3) SNT cannot cover regular, recurring bills or any bill that would make you lose your social services benefits, like Medicaid. For this reason, it can't pay your portion of Section 8 rent. [You "can't take $ out of SNT because the $ is no longer yours, or under your control. It's a deal with the Devil to still use social services & have inheritance. If you die before inheritance $ in SNT is spent, then every State you got help from drains the remaining $ from the SNT.]

@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT 2 сағат бұрын
If you’re receiving SSI benefits, you’re required to report any trust for which you are the beneficiary to the Social Security Administration - this would be a 1st party or a 3rd party SNT. SSA can then look over the trust and determine whether it’s a properly drafted SNT.

This entire program was created with absolute criminal intent. By a highly diseased immoral government. Which clearly and openly aims to inflict undue hardship, cruel, and unusual punishment upon evey disabled citizen in need of such assistance with a bunch of criminally designed draconian income & asset limitations. That stopped aligning with reality back in 1980. A program that forces disabled people to not only live below poverty. But guarantees said recipients forever remain in poverty. That's not supplemental security. Thats a crime. Thats like giving a homeless man a dollar and then forcing him to give up the very clothes on his back because of it. If that's not enough? The program then seeks to further punish the very same people should they ever attempt to marry each other with more draconian restrictions. If the above is not considered cruel and unusual punishment? Then nothing is. Which is a violation of the 8th amendment which absolutely does not just apply to incarcerated people. No matter how a corrupt and criminal government attempts to spin it. Which has been aided & abetted by every politician for the last five decades. Instead of rectifing the problem. Such limitations may have held relevance back in the 1970s, but they certainly do not today. Which make them a bonafide delusion far beyond the realm of reality and common sense. There's no such thing as common sense government and there never will be as long as the great two party political con remains clogged up within it. The government has become so corrupt and self-serving that its dangerously addicted to always doing the wrong things in the name of serving itself at the expense of everybody else. Especially those the government can turn into second class citizens with a stroke of the pen. Its disgusting.

I told him It was average $750 a month depending on how much utilities were because we split it 4 ways. He did not mention anything about the $334/month Federal rule and also did not restore any of the deduction from her SSI. Maybe it will change in September.

There are a couple of discrepancies. 1. Property tax under Prop 13 can't be raised more than 2% per year, not 1%. 2. Yes, people 55 and older can transfer their lower property tax to a new home within California and it will stay at the same rate if they purchase a home of equal or lesser. However, if they sell their home for $500,000 and purchase a new home for $600,000 they will be assessed for an addition $100,000 onto their low transferred tax base.

I thought anything under 18k(this year) has a gift tax exclusion. Regardless if gifting to able account or snt, why would a 709 have to be filed for small amounts?
@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT 12 күн бұрын
A gift to a SNT is not considered a “completed” gift, so the $18K annual exclusion (this year) doesn’t apply to gifts to SNTs, and the giver needs to file a 700 form. Compare this to a gift to an ABLE account, which is considered a completed gift directly to the beneficiary (even if someone other than the beneficiary is managing the ABLE account), so no 709 form is needed.

Washington State removed the asset limit for qualifying for the Medicare Savings Program, but like you say in this video Medicaid sill have a strict asset limit for long-term care so a 3rd party special needs trust is still necessary. The crazy thing to me is that the Medicare Savings Program no longer has an asset limit but the income limits for a married couple are still low enough that disabled people either can't get married or have to divorce because of it.
