Put Your Trust In Us.
The WNY Coalition Pooled Trusts offers trusts for both the under and over 65 Medicaid population. In addition, we also offer opportunities for Friends and Family members to future plan for their loved ones.
A Supplemental Needs Trust (or SNT) is a vehicle that can be used to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabling conditions. The trust can be used to purchase additional items and services not adequately covered by governmental benefits. The SNT must be used for the benefit of an individual with a disabling condition and the expenditures made on behalf of that person should supplement, not replace their government benefits. The Western New York Coalition is a specific type of irrevocable trust called a pooled trust. Beneficiaries pool their money together to take advantage of better investment opportunities. There are three types of trusts in the Western New York Coalition: the Self-Funded Trust for individuals under the age of 65, the Self-Funded Trust for individuals over the age of 65, and the Friends and Family Trust.
