About Us

My Choice Trust

My Choice Trust is sponsored by Coordinated Care Alliance NY (CCANY), a Management Service Organization born out of the collaboration of two NY State 501 (c)(3) non-profit Care Coordination Organizations – LIFEPlan CCO and ACANY.

Together, these Care Coordination Organizations, also known as CCOs, provide responsive, high-quality Care Management Services and support for more than 50,000 individuals with intellectual and/or other developmental disabilities throughout 48 counties in NY State.

*You do not need to be a member of a CCO to apply for or open an account with My Choice Trust.

The Mission of
My Choice Trust

Our mission is to protect and provide resources to assist people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in living their most healthy and meaningful lives, by safeguarding their assets for personal use and enjoyment, enabling them to qualify for and maintain eligibility for “means-tested” government benefits.

Means-tested benefits are benefits that impose an asset or income cap to qualify.

As a mission-forward organization, we will continuously strive to provide innovative programs and resources in efforts to assist individuals and families in achieving their goals, flourish as members in their communities, and live their most meaningful lives.

My Choice Trust Purpose

To provide a cost-effective and streamlined process whereby individuals with disabilities throughout NY State, who have excess resources, can shelter those assets for personal use and enjoyment.

These funds can be used as a supplement to what government benefits cover, while maintaining their eligibility for benefits, such as Medicaid and SSI, which have income and asset caps.

To qualify for and maintain eligibility for these benefits, one must not exceed restrictive asset limits.

If one needs to shelter assets above benefit limits in order to qualify for or maintain these benefits, there are options.

Disbursements from the SNT can be requested for the sole benefit of the beneficiary to supplement items that benefits do not cover.
