Here's a link with info regarding Missouri trusts. I have no idea if this site is legit or merely a come-on for legal services, but at least it's a place to start. Good luck!

This could be correct.
I've heard somewhere that court settlements don't count against SSDI?
That or immediately get it out of your account and say you used it to pay back an old loan.
Your lawyer sounds kinda iffy to me.
I will nevah, EVAH take a pinch from a greasy muddahf*@kah like you!
How 'bout if I spell it out for ya. D-I-L-L-I-G-A-F

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) - pays benefits if you worked long enough and paid SS taxes. A lawsuit settlement will not be counted against you in determining your SSDI benefits.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) - pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. A laswuit settlement will be counted against you in determining your SSI benefits. Like hooplady mentioned above, I believe there are a few ways to get around this, mainly with trusts and estates.
I'm just offering you information that I believe to be correct and I'm not a lawyer. Don't rely on me, get you a good lawyer if your current lawyer is not knowledgeable in this area, which appears to be the case.

"A properly drafted Supplemental Needs Trust should reference the Social Security Operations Manual and the relevant portions from within the Manual that authorize the creation of the Trust. It must contain the required language regarding payback to Medicaid.
The Trust should also have language explaining the exception to the Omnibus Budget and Reconciliation Act (OBRA-93) provisions which authorize the creation of the Trust, and a copy of the relevant provisions from the United States Code (USC)."
That's from: http://www.nsnn.com/frequently.htm

You can get around SSI with a special needs trust
But unfortunately medicaid/medicare will make you pay them back. Medicaid will make two offers A) Pay back in full, plus a set-aside for fututre medical bills in order to keep coverage or
