SNA SECURE Act Activities
In 2020, SNA successfully advocated for Special Needs Trust protections in the SECURE Act which governs the way in which many deferrable retirement benefits are distributed.

Subsequently, SNA has been working to ensure that SECURE is interpreted to allow charitable organizations to be named as the remainder beneficiary of the trust.
