The Wisconsin Pooled & Community Trusts or WisPACTs provide for the special needs of persons with disabilities without endangering their eligibility for public benefits or placement on waiting lists. These benefits include entitlement programs such as Supplemental Security Income, Medical Assistance, Social Security Disability Insurance and Medicare and home and community-based services, such as the Community Integration, Options, and Support Programs.
WisPACT, Inc., a Wisconsin nonprofit corporation, establishes and manages the trusts and selects its Trustee. The board of directors includes elder law attorneys, members of state-based advocacy groups for aging and "special needs" populations, C.P.A.s, and beneficiaries: all are volunteers. The Trustee is Associated Trust Company, N.A., a Wisconsin based corporate trustee.
