Somebody would have had to provide details of all your mother's income sources in her Medicaid application. If this pension wasn't listed, it should have been. Medicaid will definitely take it.

Medicaid will require the check to be paid to them. In fact, they may have already done this.

Mom is entitled to it, for her expenses and hers alone.
