On September 20, the House overwhelmingly passed the updated version of the Special Needs Trust Fairness Act. The final hour before its passage saw much opposition and concern. Both the House and the Senate passed the underlying language of the SNT Fairness Act. The House, however, added additional language that will need to be reviewed by the Senate before making it to the President’s desk. With the election over, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys is looking to work with the Senate to pass this amended bill.
