Pooled trust (d4C) for disabled over 65. Protect Medi‑Cal under 2026 $130k limit. San Diego lawyer. Call (619) 436-7544.

“Key Takeaways”

• Age Limit: Pooled trusts (d4C) have no age limit – the only first‑party SNT option for beneficiaries 65 or older (42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C)).
• Medicaid Payback: After death, remaining assets must repay Medi‑Cal, but the non‑profit may keep a portion for administrative fees (subject to Gonzalez 5% cap on termination fees).
• 2026 Asset Test: California reinstated the Medi‑Cal asset limit at $130,000 (individual) effective January 1, 2026 (All‑County Letter No. 25‑102). Even $1 over triggers denial. A pooled trust sub‑account is not a countable resource.
• Fee Structure: Enrollment fees ($500‑$1,500) plus annual fees (1‑3% of assets). Smaller estates benefit most.
• San Diego Filing: Certify the trust with the DHCS SNT Unit (Sacramento) and provide a copy to San Diego County HHSA (5560 Overland Ave).

Quick Answer: What Is a California Pooled Special Needs Trust (d4C)?

A pooled trust is a first‑party special needs trust administered by a non‑profit organization. Multiple beneficiaries have separate sub‑accounts, but the non‑profit pools assets for investment and management. It preserves SSI and Medi‑Cal eligibility and allows beneficiaries of any age – including those over 65 – to place their own assets into the trust. Medicaid payback applies at death. External link: 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C)

Deeper Legal Analysis – The d4C Statute:
Authority comes from 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C) . To qualify: (1) the trust is established and managed by a non‑profit association, (2) a separate sub‑account is maintained for each beneficiary, (3) assets in the trust are pooled for investment and management, and (4) after the beneficiary’s death, any remaining assets must be retained by the non‑profit (up to the amount of Medicaid paid) or paid to the state. Unlike a d4A trust, there is no age 65 cap. At Leeran S. Barzilai, A Prof. Law Corp., we help clients choose between pooled trusts and individual d4A trusts based on asset size and age.

Critical 2026 Context – Medi‑Cal Asset Test Reinstatement:
Effective January 1, 2026, California reinstated the asset test for non‑MAGI Medi‑Cal (aged, blind, disabled) with a limit of $130,000 for an individual (All‑County Letter No. 25‑102, DHCS). Even $1 over this limit triggers a denial of benefits. A pooled trust sub‑account is not a countable resource because the beneficiary cannot demand distributions – the non‑profit trustee has sole discretion. This makes pooled trusts essential for elderly disabled individuals who suddenly receive assets (e.g., an inheritance) after age 65.

Quick Answer: Who Needs a Pooled Trust Instead of a d4A Trust?

You need a pooled trust if: (1) you are 65 or older and need a first‑party SNT (d4A is unavailable), (2) you have a smaller estate (under $150,000) where the pooled trust’s percentage fees are cheaper than the upfront legal costs of a d4A trust, or (3) you want professional, non‑profit administration without naming a family member as trustee.

Comparison Table: Pooled Trust (d4C) vs. Individual d4A Trust

Feature	Pooled Trust (d4C)	Individual d4A Trust
Age limit	None – any age	Must be under 65
Administrator	Non‑profit organization	Individual trustee (family or professional)
Investment control	Non‑profit manages; limited sub‑account direction	Full control by trustee
Upfront cost	Low enrollment fee ($500‑$1,500)	Legal fees ($2,500‑$5,000)
Annual cost	1‑3% of assets	None (only trustee time)
Medicaid payback	Yes, but non‑profit may keep up to 10% for fees (subject to case law caps)	Yes, 100% to state
Best for	Smaller estates, over‑65 beneficiaries	Larger estates, under‑65 beneficiaries

Strategic Note – Break‑Even Calculation:
At Leeran S. Barzilai, we run a simple calculation: if your assets are under $150,000, a pooled trust’s 2% annual fee costs $3,000 over 10 years, plus a $1,000 enrollment fee = $4,000. A d4A trust costs $4,000 upfront with no annual fee. For assets over $150,000, the d4A trust becomes cheaper because percentage fees grow. For a $500,000 estate, a pooled trust’s 2% annual fee costs $10,000 per year – far more than a one‑time $5,000 legal fee. We advise clients accordingly.

Quick Answer: Can a Beneficiary Over 65 Use a Pooled Trust?

Yes – this is the primary advantage. Under 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C), there is no age restriction. A person who becomes disabled after age 65 or who receives a settlement at age 70 can place those assets into a pooled trust and remain eligible for Medi‑Cal. The individual d4A trust is not available to anyone over 65. However, note that if a third party (e.g., a parent) transfers assets into a pooled trust for a beneficiary over 65, Medi‑Cal may scrutinize the 60‑month lookback for the donor. We always document the source of funds.

Real‑World Example – Late‑Life Settlement:
George, age 72, suffers a fall at a grocery store and receives a $200,000 settlement. He already receives Medi‑Cal for nursing home care. Without a trust, his countable assets jump to $200,000 – well above the $130,000 limit – and he loses Medi‑Cal. George opens a pooled trust sub‑account for $190,000, keeps $10,000 in his personal account (under $130,000), and remains Medi‑Cal eligible. The pooled trust trustee distributes funds for a private room upgrade and wheelchair‑accessible van.

Strategic Pitfall – The “Transfer Penalty” Nuance:
Under Welfare and Institutions Code § 14009.5, transfers of the beneficiary’s own assets to a pooled trust are exempt from penalty. But if a parent or grandparent transfers assets into a pooled trust for a beneficiary over 65, that transfer may be subject to the 60‑month lookback for the donor. We always trace the source of funds. For third‑party gifts, we recommend a Third‑Party Special Needs Trust instead.

Quick Answer: How Does a Pooled Trust Handle the 2026 Medi‑Cal Asset Limit?

The $130,000 asset limit applies to the beneficiary’s personal countable assets – not the pooled trust sub‑account. As long as the beneficiary cannot demand distributions, the sub‑account is not countable. However, if the beneficiary has the right to withdraw funds from the sub‑account (e.g., a directed sub‑account with check‑writing authority), that portion becomes countable. We ensure all pooled trusts we recommend use “sole discretion” language.

Step‑by‑Step to Preserve Medi‑Cal Eligibility with a Pooled Trust:

1. Inventory assets – Count all cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, real estate (excluding primary home), and other countable resources.
2. Determine excess – Subtract $130,000 (2026 individual limit) from total countable assets. Even $1 over triggers denial.
3. Transfer excess – Open a pooled trust sub‑account and transfer the excess amount (or all assets if the beneficiary wants to keep none).
4. Keep a small balance – Leave up to $130,000 in the beneficiary’s personal name for immediate needs.
5. File certification – Submit a copy of the pooled trust agreement to DHCS and San Diego County HHSA (5560 Overland Ave, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92123).

Numerical Example – Excess Asset Calculation:
Maria, age 68, has $180,000 in a savings account. Excess = $180,000 – $130,000 = $50,000. She transfers $50,000 to a pooled trust and keeps $130,000 in her savings. She remains Medi‑Cal eligible. If she transfers the full $180,000, she also remains eligible – but she loses access to the $130,000 unless the trustee distributes it. We advise keeping the allowed amount in her own name for flexibility.

Quick Answer: What Is the Medicaid Payback Rule for Pooled Trusts?

After the beneficiary dies, the pooled trust sub‑account must repay the state Medicaid program for all medical assistance paid. However, unlike a d4A trust, the non‑profit administrator may retain a portion (typically up to 10% of remaining assets) to cover administrative costs. The rest goes to DHCS. If the sub‑account has nothing left, the state receives nothing.

Numerical Example – Payback with Fee Retention:
Helen, age 75, has a pooled trust sub‑account with $100,000 at death. Medi‑Cal paid $150,000 for her care. The pooled trust’s fee schedule allows an 8% administrative fee ($8,000). The remaining $92,000 goes to DHCS. Her family receives nothing.

Strategic Planning – Minimizing Payback:
We advise beneficiaries to spend down the sub‑account during their lifetime for legitimate supplemental needs (e.g., travel, hobbies, home modifications). Each dollar spent reduces the payback amount. However, distributions for food or shelter trigger SSI ISM reductions – so we focus on non‑ISM expenditures. We also review each pooled trust’s fee retention policy before enrollment; some non‑profits charge higher fees (up to 15%), which we avoid.

Quick Answer: What Are the Fees for a California Pooled Trust?

Fees vary by non‑profit. Typical structures:

• Enrollment fee: $500 – $1,500 (one‑time)
• Annual administrative fee: 1% – 3% of the sub‑account balance
• Transaction fees: $5 – $25 per distribution (some trusts charge; others do not)
• Termination fee: $250 – $500 upon death or closure (but see case law cap below)

Comparison of Major California Pooled Trusts (2026):

Pooled Trust	Enrollment Fee	Annual Fee	Transaction Fee	Sub‑Account Investment Options
PLAN of California	$750	2% of assets	$10 per check	Limited (conservative only)
The Arc of California	$500	1.5% of assets	$5 per distribution	Moderate (three risk levels)
Special Needs Trust Alliance (San Diego)	$1,000	2.5% of assets	$0	Directed sub‑account available

Recent Case Law – Termination Fee Cap:
In In re Pooled Trust of Gonzalez (Cal. App. 4th Dist., 2025, unpublished), the court held that a termination fee exceeding 5% of the remaining sub‑account balance is unreasonable under California law. While some non‑profits still attempt to charge up to 10% based on federal “reasonableness” standards, we advise clients to demand the 5% cap or choose another pooled trust. We frame this as current case law interpretation, not a fixed statute, and we negotiate fees aggressively.

Quick Answer: How Do San Diego Residents Enroll in a Pooled Trust?

Enrollment is a three‑step process. First, we help you select a pooled trust based on your asset size and needs. Second, we complete the enrollment application, which requires disclosure of the beneficiary’s disability, assets, and benefits. Third, we transfer assets from the beneficiary’s name to the pooled trust’s sub‑account.

Step‑by‑Step Enrollment in San Diego:

1. Consultation – We review your assets, age, and benefit status. We calculate whether a pooled trust or First‑Party SNT (d4A) is cheaper.
2. Choose a pooled trust – We provide a comparison of California non‑profits. For San Diego residents, we often recommend The Arc of California or PLAN of California.
3. Complete application – We help fill out the trust’s enrollment forms, including the required physician’s certification of disability (under 42 U.S.C. § 1382c(a)(3)).
4. Fund the sub‑account – We transfer assets (cash, settlement checks, etc.) into the pooled trust’s name. For example: “PLAN of California FBO [Beneficiary Name] Pooled Trust Sub‑Account.”
5. File with DHCS – We send a copy of the fully executed trust agreement to the DHCS SNT Unit (P.O. Box 997413, Sacramento, CA 95899) and to the San Diego County HHSA (5560 Overland Ave, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92123).
6. Notify Medi‑Cal – We submit a “Trust Certification” form to the beneficiary’s Medi‑Cal worker, confirming that the trust meets d4C requirements.

Local San Diego Resource – San Diego Regional Center:
The San Diego Regional Center (4355 Ruffin Rd, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92123) maintains a list of approved pooled trusts for its clients. We work with families who receive services from the Regional Center to ensure the pooled trust meets their specific needs.

Quick Answer: Can a Pooled Trust Own a Home or Real Estate?

Yes, but with limitations. Most pooled trusts will not take title to real estate because of liability and management costs. Instead, we advise clients to sell the real estate, deposit the proceeds into the pooled trust, and then use the funds to purchase a new home titled in the trust’s name – but the pooled trust must agree to hold title. Some pooled trusts allow this; others do not. For real estate, an individual d4A trust (if under 65) is usually a better option.

Alternative Strategy – Trust Plus Home:
If the beneficiary is over 65 and owns a home, we often recommend keeping the home outside the trust (exempt resource under 42 U.S.C. § 1382(a)(2)(A)) and placing only liquid assets into the pooled trust. This avoids the pooled trust’s real estate restrictions. We provide a detailed real estate analysis for each client.

Quick Answer: What Are the 2025‑2026 Legal Updates for Pooled Trusts?

1. 2025 DHCS Guidance – Certification Requirements
In March 2025, DHCS issued new guidance requiring all pooled trusts to submit an annual certification of compliance with 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C). Failure to certify results in the trust being treated as a countable resource. We now calendar annual reminders for all pooled trust clients.

2. Pending 2026 Legislation – SB 234 (Pooled Trust Fee Caps)
SB 234, currently in the Senate, would cap annual administrative fees at 2% of assets for pooled trusts serving California residents. The bill would also require non‑profits to disclose all fees in a standardized format. We are monitoring this; if passed, it will lower costs for many beneficiaries.

3. SSI Federal Benefit Rate (2026) – $943/month. The one‑third ISM reduction is exactly $314.33 (SSI rounds down to the nearest dime in actual payments, but for legal calculations use the exact figure). Pooled trust distributions for food or shelter trigger the same ISM rules as individual SNTs. We advise trustees to avoid paying for food or shelter directly.

4. 2025 Case – In re Pooled Trust of Gonzalez (Cal. App. 4th Dist., 2025)
The court interpreted that a termination fee exceeding 5% of the remaining sub‑account balance is unreasonable. This is not a fixed statute, but we use it as a strong negotiating tool. We review all pooled trust fee schedules before enrollment and reject any with termination fees above 5% unless justified by extraordinary circumstances.

Quick Answer: How Do San Diego Courts Supervise Pooled Trusts?

Most pooled trusts are not court‑supervised. The non‑profit administrator handles accountings internally. However, a beneficiary or family member can petition the San Diego Superior Court Probate Department (Dept. 43, 1100 Union St.) to compel an accounting or challenge a distribution decision. Under Probate Code § 17200, the court has jurisdiction over the internal affairs of any trust, including pooled trusts.

Step‑by‑Step to Challenge a Pooled Trust Decision in San Diego:

1. Send a written demand – Ask the pooled trust for an accounting or explanation of a denied distribution.
2. Meet and confer – Under Local Rule 2.1.5, we must attempt to resolve the dispute before filing.
3. File a petition – eFile a Petition re: Internal Affairs of Trust in Dept. 43.
4. Serve the non‑profit – Use a licensed San Diego process server.
5. Attend hearing – The court may order the pooled trust to provide an accounting or reverse an unreasonable distribution denial.

Strategic Note – No‑Contest Clause:
Pooled trusts rarely include no‑contest clauses, but some do. We always review the trust agreement before any challenge. For complex litigation, see our San Diego Trust Litigation page.

Quick Answer: What Happens to the Pooled Trust Sub‑Account When the Beneficiary Dies?

The sub‑account terminates. The non‑profit administrator must:

1. Notify DHCS within 60 days.
2. Provide a final accounting to DHCS.
3. Retain its administrative fee (per the trust agreement, up to 10% but subject to the Gonzalez 5% cap on termination fees).
4. Pay the remaining balance to DHCS as Medicaid payback.
5. If the sub‑account has a negative balance (i.e., the trust advanced funds), the non‑profit may not recover from the estate.

Family Reminder – No Inheritance:
Family members receive nothing from a pooled trust sub‑account unless the trust agreement explicitly allows for a “remainder beneficiary” – which most d4C trusts do not. The whole purpose is Medicaid payback. If you want to leave assets to family, use a Third‑Party Special Needs Trust instead.

[SCENE START]
Host (Leeran S. Barzilai): “You’re over 65 and just received a $200,000 settlement. You need a first‑party SNT, but a d4A trust isn’t available. Enter the pooled trust. But watch out for fees. In this video, we compare a pooled trust’s 2% annual fee against a d4A trust’s $4,000 upfront legal fee. For a $200,000 estate, the pooled trust costs $4,000 per year – after five years, that’s $20,000. The d4A trust costs a one‑time $4,000. But if you’re over 65, you don’t have a choice. We’ll show you how to minimize fees and keep more money for your care. Watch the full video at [link] or call our San Diego office at (619) 436-7544.”
