Can my mother gift me her stimulus check while living in a nursing home?

Here's what I found from an Elder Attorneys website.

Are There Restrictions on How I Can Spend the Stimulus Money?

In general, a resident can spend the stimulus money as they wish, including gifts and charitable contributions. This is the resident’s money to spend on their wants and needs.

If she doesn't have a pre-paid funeral she should put it towards this. Also see the links provided by gladimhere.

You should use.it to buy things that mom needs.
