I have POA financial. Now she needs clothes and things. Do I have to turn that money over to nursing home. Or can I use it to buy her clothes etc. Her employer wouldn’t release it until now 5/10/2020
I tried because she was disabled before she went to nursing home. I don’t want her to be cheated out of her money

If she is on LTC Medicaid, the pension will have to be reported to Medicaid. They will probably say it goes directly to nursing home as part of her share of cost.

If she is on medicaid she will be allowed to keep only the allowance that is allowed by medicaid for her own clothing, and etc. Everything else that comes to her will go to her care.

Yes, if medicaid is paying for her nursing home costs, all of her income has to go to the nursing home. And its not cheating her out of her money either. They will allow her to keep $30-$60 a month (however much your state allows). You can use that money to purchase necessities for her.

Yes, if she is on Medicaid her pension will go towards her care. Has she been collecting SS disability? If not, she will needed to apply to SS 2 months before her 62 birthday and that money will also go towards her care.

Does she not have a personal needs account? This money can be used for whatever she needs.
