If the amount of money to be awarded from your final judgment (after the appeals, etc.) would disqualify you to receive SSI, then you may want to consider a special needs trust or some other strategy to optimize your situation. I suggest that you contact the Solkoffs (www.solkoff.com) or Scott Wallace (www.floridaelderlaw.com) to help you.
