In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the Suffolk County Department of Social Services appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of a resettled order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Underwood, J.), entered November 16, 1995, as granted the plaintiff’s application to establish a supplemental needs trust with certain settlement proceeds before satisfying a Medicaid lien.
