Supplemental needs trust preserves SSI/Medi‑Cal. Avoid ISM traps. Third‑party & first‑party SNTs. San Diego lawyer. Call (619) 436-7544.
“Key Takeaways”

- ISM Penalty (2026): Distributions for food or shelter reduce SSI by $331.33 (VTR) or $351.33 (PMV). Pay only for supplemental needs.
- 120‑Day Contest Window: Under Probate Code § 16061.8, the clock starts on the date of service (mailing) , not receipt.
- Medi‑Cal Asset Test: Non‑MAGI (aged, blind, disabled) limit = $130,000 (2026). SSI‑linked Medi‑Cal still uses the $2,000 SSI limit.
- San Diego Probate: Most trust cases heard at East County Division (250 East Main St., El Cajon). Mandatory eFiling under Local Rule 4.3.1.
- Estate Recovery: Third‑party SNT assets pass free of Medi‑Cal claims. First‑party SNT assets are subject to payback.

Quick Answer: What Is a California Supplemental Needs Trust (SNT)?
A supplemental needs trust (also called a special needs trust) is an irrevocable trust that holds assets for a disabled person without disqualifying them from means‑tested benefits like SSI and Medi‑Cal. The trustee has sole discretion to make distributions for “supplemental” needs – those that improve quality of life but do not replace food or shelter.
Deeper Legal Analysis – Statutory Authority:
California Probate Code § 3604 defines a “special needs trust” as one that “supplements, but does not supplant, government benefits.” The federal authority for first‑party SNTs is 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(A) (d4A trusts) and for pooled trusts 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4)(C) . Third‑party SNTs (funded by parents or grandparents) have no federal payback requirement. At Leeran S. Barzilai, A Prof. Law Corp., we draft all SNTs with a “sole and absolute discretion” clause – the beneficiary cannot demand any distribution. This ensures the trust assets never count as a resource for SSI or Medi‑Cal.

Critical 2026 Context – SSI FBR & Medi‑Cal Asset Test:
For 2026, the SSI Federal Benefit Rate is $994/month. The Medi‑Cal asset test for non‑MAGI (aged, blind, disabled) applicants is $130,000 individual (reinstated Jan 1, 2026). However, for beneficiaries who receive SSI‑linked Medi‑Cal, the asset limit remains the strict $2,000 SSI limit. A properly drafted SNT is exempt from both limits. But any distribution for food or shelter triggers an In‑Kind Support and Maintenance (ISM) reduction – either the Value of the One‑Third Reduction (VTR) of $331.33 or the Presumed Maximum Value (PMV) of $351.33, depending on the living arrangement.
Quick Answer: What Is the Difference Between a Third‑Party SNT and a First‑Party SNT?
A third‑party SNT is funded with assets belonging to someone other than the beneficiary – typically a parent or grandparent. It has no Medicaid payback at the beneficiary’s death. A first‑party SNT (d4A trust) is funded with the beneficiary’s own assets (e.g., a settlement or inheritance). It requires Medicaid payback and the beneficiary must be under 65 when the trust is created.
Comparison Table: Third‑Party vs. First‑Party SNT (2026)
| Feature | Third‑Party SNT | First‑Party SNT (d4A) |
|---|---|---|
| Funding source | Parent, grandparent, other third party | Beneficiary’s own assets |
| Age limit | None | Must be under 65 at creation |
| Medicaid payback at death | No | Yes – remaining assets to state |
| Court approval required? | No | No (but may need court for funding if beneficiary incompetent) |
| Best for | Inheritance, gifts from family | Personal injury settlements, direct inheritances |
Strategic Note – Never Commingle:
At Leeran S. Barzilai, we strictly prohibit putting third‑party assets into a first‑party SNT. Commingling can cause the entire trust to be treated as a first‑party trust – subjecting the third‑party funds to Medicaid payback. We create separate trusts for each funding source.

Quick Answer: What Is the “Sole Discretion” Requirement and Why Does It Matter?
The trustee must have sole and absolute discretion over all distributions. The beneficiary cannot have any right to demand funds – not even for a specific purpose. If the trust gives the beneficiary the power to compel a distribution, the entire trust becomes a countable resource for SSI and Medi‑Cal. We draft all SNTs with explicit “no right to demand” language.
Step‑by‑Step – Drafting a Compliant SNT:
- Include a “spendthrift clause” – Protects trust assets from creditors.
- State that the trustee has “sole and absolute discretion” – The beneficiary cannot force any distribution.
- Prohibit the beneficiary from serving as trustee – A beneficiary‑trustee would have control, making the trust countable.
- Include a “supplemental needs” standard – Distributions must not replace government benefits.
- Name a successor trustee – A family member, professional fiduciary, or our firm.
Quick Answer: How Do I Fund a Supplemental Needs Trust?
Funding an SNT depends on the type of asset you wish to transfer. For cash and bank accounts, retitle the account in the name of the trust. Real estate requires recording a new deed (grant deed or quitclaim deed) with the county recorder’s office. Changing beneficiary designations works for life insurance and retirement accounts – simply name the trust as the beneficiary. With IRAs, the trust must qualify as a “see‑through trust” to avoid immediate taxation. We draft all our SNTs with see‑through language under IRS Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-4.
Step‑by‑Step Funding Guide:
1. Cash & Bank Accounts
- Retitle the account to: “Leeran S. Barzilai, Trustee of the [Beneficiary Name] SNT dated [date].”
2. Real Estate
- Record a Grant Deed or Quitclaim Deed transferring ownership to the trust.
- In San Diego County, file with the Recorder’s Office at 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 260.
3. Life Insurance
- Change the beneficiary designation to the trust’s legal name and EIN.
4. Retirement Accounts (IRA, 401k)
- The trust must be a “see‑through trust” under IRS Reg. § 1.401(a)(9)-4. We draft all SNTs with see‑through language.

Quick Answer: What Is the ISM Rule and How Do I Avoid It?
The In‑Kind Support and Maintenance (ISM) rule applies when an SNT pays for a beneficiary’s food or shelter. SSI treats that payment as income and reduces the monthly SSI payment. For 2026, the Value of the One‑Third Reduction (VTR) is $331.33 (one‑third of $994). If the beneficiary does not receive both full food and shelter from the same household, the Presumed Maximum Value (PMV) rule may apply, which is $331.33 + $20 = $351.33.
ISM Safe vs. Unsafe Distributions Table:
| Distribution Type | ISM Reduction | Safe Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Rent payment ($1,200) | $331.33 (VTR) or $351.33 (PMV) | Pay mortgage principal (not shelter) |
| Groceries ($300) | $300 (actual value) | Pay for nutritional supplements with a prescription |
| Utility bills ($200) | $200 (actual value) | Pay for home repairs or modifications |
| Property taxes ($500) | $500 (actual value) | Pay for home insurance instead |
| Mortgage principal | $0 | Safe |
| Medical expenses | $0 | Safe |
| Transportation | $0 | Safe |
| Education | $0 | Safe |
Strategic Note – CalABLE Workaround:
Use a CalABLE account to pay for food and shelter without ISM (up to $100,000 exempt).
Quick Answer: What Are the Deadlines for Contesting a Trust or Demanding an Accounting?
Under Probate Code § 16061.8, a beneficiary has 120 days from the date of service (the date the notification is mailed or personally delivered) to contest the trust’s validity – not from the date of receipt. Under Probate Code § 17200, a beneficiary can demand an accounting in writing, and the trustee has 60 days to respond.
Litigation Timeline Table:
| Event | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Trust notification served (mailed) | Day 0 |
| Last day to contest trust | Day 120 (after service date) |
| Beneficiary sends written accounting demand | Day 0 (separate) |
| Trustee must provide accounting | Day 60 |
| File petition to compel | After day 60 |
Strategic Note – No‑Contest Clause Safe Harbor:
Probate Code § 21311(b)(4) provides a safe harbor for a beneficiary who files a petition to compel an accounting. We always cite this safe harbor.

Quick Answer: What Are the 2025‑2026 Legal Updates for SNTs?
1. 2025 Appellate Case – Revah v. Revah (Cal. App. 2d Dist., 2025) – Held that a “ledger dump” does not satisfy accounting duties. A proper accounting must include categorized schedules.
2. 2026 SSI FBR Increase – $994/month. ISM one‑third reduction = $331.33 (VTR); PMV = $351.33.
3. 2026 Medi‑Cal Asset Test Reinstatement – $130,000 limit for non‑MAGI (aged, blind, disabled). SSI‑linked Medi‑Cal remains at $2,000.
4. Pending 2026 Legislation – AB 789 (No‑Contest Clause Safe Harbors) – Two‑year bill; we are monitoring.
5. IRS See‑Through Trust Regulations – No changes; we continue drafting all SNTs with see‑through language.
Quick Answer: What Are the 2026 Estate Recovery Protections for SNTs?
Many clients fear that after they die, the state will take their home to repay Medi‑Cal benefits. Here is the critical distinction:
- Third‑party SNT (funded by parents or grandparents): Assets in this trust bypass estate recovery entirely. The home (if titled in the trust) passes to remainder beneficiaries (e.g., siblings) without any Medi‑Cal claim.
- First‑party SNT (d4A) : Assets are subject to Medicaid payback at death. The state recovers up to the amount of Medi‑Cal paid.
- Life estate: You can transfer your home to your children while retaining a life estate. The home does not go through probate, and the state cannot recover against a life estate.
- Transfer to disabled child: Transferring your home to a disabled child is exempt from estate recovery.
Strategic Note: For parents funding an SNT for a disabled child, we recommend a third‑party SNT and, if desired, a life estate deed for the family home. At Leeran S. Barzilai, we draft these documents together.
Quick Answer: Can an SNT Own a Home or Other Real Estate?
Yes. The trust can purchase a home for the beneficiary, and the beneficiary can live there rent‑free without SSI reduction. The trust must pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance directly. For a third‑party SNT, the home passes to remainder beneficiaries without estate recovery.
Numerical Example – Buying a Home:
A third‑party SNT buys a $350,000 condo. The beneficiary lives there rent‑free. SSI and Medi‑Cal are unaffected. At the beneficiary’s death, the condo passes to the remainder beneficiaries (e.g., siblings) – no Medi‑Cal payback.
FAQ Section
Question: What is the difference between a supplemental needs trust and a special needs trust?
Answer: No legal difference – they are synonyms. California law (Probate Code § 3604) uses “special needs trust.” At Leeran S. Barzilai, we use both terms interchangeably.
Question: Can the beneficiary serve as trustee of their own SNT?
Answer: No. If the beneficiary serves as trustee, they would have control over distributions, making the trust a countable resource. The trustee must be a third party – family member, professional fiduciary, or our firm.
Question: How do I find a supplemental needs trust lawyer in San Diego?
Answer: Leeran S. Barzilai, A Prof. Law Corp. specializes in SNTs, funding, and litigation. Located at 4501 Mission Bay Dr. #3c, San Diego, CA 92109. Call (619) 436-7544 for a free consultation.
Question: Can an SNT pay for a vacation or entertainment?
Answer: Yes, as long as the trust pays the provider directly. Recreation is a supplemental need – it improves quality of life without replacing food or shelter.
Question: What happens to an SNT when the beneficiary dies?
Answer: For a third‑party SNT, remaining assets go to remainder beneficiaries – no Medicaid payback. For a first‑party SNT, the state receives remaining assets up to the amount of Medi‑Cal paid.
Question: Can I use a CalABLE account and an SNT together?
Answer: Yes. Use CalABLE for routine expenses (food, rent, utilities) up to $100,000 exempt. Use an SNT for larger assets. See our CalABLE vs. SNT Comparison Guide.
Question: How long does a trustee have to provide an accounting after a demand?
Answer: Under Probate Code § 17200, the trustee has 60 days to respond. Failure allows the beneficiary to petition the court to compel the accounting.
Question: Does an SNT protect assets from the beneficiary’s creditors?
Answer: Yes, under Probate Code § 15307, a creditor cannot reach trust assets if the trustee has sole discretion. But once the trust distributes cash to the beneficiary, that cash is subject to creditors.
