[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of the moms of a kid on certificate track. She's currently in middle school. It's very difficult to answer your question. Having a child with major disabilities is like living in a war zone. We can't possibly plan for life a decade from now. Moreover, Maryland puts our kids on a "waiver" of medicaid with no services or supplemental income[b] so I can't plan or budget for her future. [/b] I don't even know what the options are for her after she reaches 21. Work? And really, OP, I think your question would be unfair to ask of any kid. What is your young child going to do when he/she is 21? Oh, I don't know, cure cancer? Work at Denny's? Be a fireman?[/quote] Have you talked to a lawyer about setting up a SN trust so that you can budget for her future without messing up medicaid eligibility? [/quote]
