Mom's rehab facility wants her SS and retirements at the beginning of the month but Medicare is paying?

Mom had her 4th stroke this year, she is in a rehab facility now.She has medicare and a suplementry Ins. I have been dealing with the NHdhhs to get her placed and on Medicaid.
The rehab wants her S.S and her retirements at the beginning of the month. I contacted Medicare and they told me they are paying for her to be there and will send me a descriptive bill on her benefits.
Should I give the rehab her money at the end of the month.

Medicare will only cover 20 days, after that there is a co-pay as spelled out in the share of cost document. The long term care insurance does not kick in immediately. Read the contract, sometimes it does not kick in for 6 months. It pays a set amount for a set period of time.
She will be "Medicaid Pending" for a while, that means you must send the SS and pensions to them, unless by some miracle the long term care insurance was a huge policy that covers everything. Read the policy.
