My mother-in-law, gets a small Social Security check but has to pay all but $40 to the nursing home where she is and Medicaid pays the rest. I wonder if the nursing home/Medicaid will take the money. Or maybe all but $40. I don’t know. I guess we’ll find out.
It’s hers
“I wonder if the nursing home/Medicaid will take the money. “
interesting question,though this money is neither SS nor Medicaid, so unless they’ve written something into their contract about automatically getting to scarf up any other kind of money, i would think they’d not be able to touch it ... the stimulus money should be direct deposited into her bank account, so don’t see how they could extract it unless they have power of attorney or joint custody of the account ...
