disability or any other cause:
    (a) directly to the beneficiary;

and .
    (f) to a trust, created prior to the time the distribution
becomes payable, for the sole benefit of the beneficiary and
those dependent upon the beneficiary during his or her
lifetime, to be administered as a part thereof, except that any
amounts distributed to the trust pursuant to this paragraph (f)
shall be separately accounted for by the trustee of the trust
and shall be indefeasibly vested in the beneficiary so that if
the beneficiary dies prior to complete distribution of such
amounts, the amounts and the accretions, earnings, and income
thereon, if any, shall be paid to the beneficiary's estate;
provided, however, that this paragraph (f) shall not apply to
the extent that it would cause a trust otherwise qualifying for
