A. the trust is for the sole benefit for the applicant/recipient's spouse; or
B. was transferred to a trust that is in compliance with Subsections B or D of 8.281.510.11 NMAC that is established for the sole benefit of the applicant/recipient's disabled child, or
C. was transferred to a trust that is in compliance with Subsection B or D of 8.281.510.11 NMAC that is established solely for the benefit of an individual who is under 65 years of age and who is disabled.
