ODSP Preservation
Simultaneously, other financial assets must be provided in your plan as ODSP funding really only provides for the barest of necessities. Unfortunately, if the provision of these other assets, to support your loved one, is not structured strategically, it will destroy your dependant's eligibility for the continuing ODSP benefits.
It tugs at our heart’s when we hear of situations, such as grandparents generously leaving money in their wills to support your special needs child, that in turn create a nightmare as they unintentionally disqualify your child from their needed ODSP benefits.
At Transitions Wealth Strategies, we will guide you as to what role ODSP should play as a part of your "Transitions Life Plan". If ODSP preservation is a goal, we educate and guide you accordingly so that the other elements of your support plan, both now and in the future, do not impact ODSP eligibility.
