FEATURED SPECIAL NEEDS ARTICLES

Making Year-End Gifts to Special Needs Family Members
Many people are getting ready to make gifts to family members, but gifts of cash or certain types of gift cards can compromise the eligibility for government benefits of a family member with special needs.
Bill Introduced to Raise SSI Asset Limit, Make Other Reforms
The amount of money that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can have without losing benefits has been frozen at $2,000 since 1989.  New legislation would increase that limit and make other changes.
Lawmakers Starting to Combat Discrimination Against Tenants Who Receive Housing Aid
California, New York, and other state and city governments are enacting legislation to combat discrimination by landlords against people who pay rent with Section 8 vouchers, including many people with disabilities.
Veterans Disability Benefits Now Protected in Bankruptcy Proceedings
Eliminating a cruel quirk in federal bankruptcy law, newly enacted legislation protects veterans disability benefits from creditors in bankruptcy proceedings.
