A Special Needs Trust (SNT) allows for a disabled person to maintain his or her eligibility for public assistance benefits, despite having assets that would otherwise make the person ineligible for those benefits. There are two types of SNTs: First Party and Third Party funded.
Cons of Special Needs Trusts The trust must be maintained, and yearly management costs can be high. Depending on who manages the fund, there may be a minimum amount required to set up the trust. It may be financially difficult for the settlor to actually establish the trust, depending upon their circumstances.
Whether or not you need an EIN for a trust depends on the type of trust. Generally, grantor revocable trusts do not need an EIN. Any income taxes from a revocable trust is reported via the grantor's SSN since the grantor can revoke the trust at any time and regain possession of the property.
A Special Needs Trust must have its own Federal Identification Number (also called an Employer Identification Number, EIN, Tax Identification Number, or TIN) to be valid. This unique number means that the Trust is its own entity, and that it does not belong to anyone but itself.
