In Ohio, individuals with a disability and those who love them face many challenges when trying to provide for their needs in a way that helps safeguard their eligibility for government benefits, such as Medicaid and perhaps Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Community Fund Management Foundation (CFMF) can help!

Community Fund Management Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt (501c3) foundation that develops and makes available several types of trusts, educational programs, and related services that enable individuals who are disabled (as defined by Social Security Administration criteria) to use private funds to enhance their quality of life while attempting to safeguard their eligibility for government benefits.

Money can be requested from the trust account to pay for supplemental services, which are items or services not paid for by insurance or a government benefit program, but that provide dignity, joy, or optimism to an individual with a disability. Examples include cable TV, magazines, vacations, or dental work not covered by Medicaid.

Attorneys are advised that the Master and Pooled Medicaid Payback Trusts and Joinders have been recently revised. Please go to the Documents page to download the new documents. You must use the current versions of the Trust Agreements and Joinder Agreements provided here. Applications submitted on outdated forms will not be accepted.
