mailto:jason@eckertlawllc.com Enriching Life with a Special Needs Trust A special needs trust (SNT) is a trust for a disabled beneficiary that doesn’t jeopardize the beneficiary’s eligibility for needs-based government benefits. SNT funds can generally be used to pay for almost anything that falls outside of basic support. There are two main types of SNTs: first-party and third-party. The main difference between them is that the former holds funds that the beneficiary owns or receives in a lump sum and puts into the trust, and the latter holds funds given to the beneficiary by a parent, grandparent, or other individual. One key difference between first-party and third-party SNTs is that when the beneficiary dies, funds in a third-party SNT are not subject to reimbursement to the state for up to die amount of the government benefits the beneficiary received during their lifetime.
