My mom passed away 2 weeks ago. I had POA and I am on her checking account. A few people are telling me that I have got to return money back to state, and the memory care center is also telling me that because she didn't use her 30 day stay that the state takes the money. Can someone tell me what do I need to do or who do I call? Thanks.

If your mom received SSN for the month after she died (ie passed in March, received SSN check in April), SSN will do a reclaim for April's payment. If SSN has been notified of the death, they will take the necessary steps to reclaim the money, and will contact the bank or credit union to let them know that they are going to do this.

Keep the account open for a while. My Mom has been gone six months and SS has not requested the money back probably because that was her money.
When my FIL passed at the end of January, we were told that the SS deposit to his account on 2/2 was for January. So, we're to leave at least that amount in the bank account and SS will do a "clawback".
Month.(for the last 4 years)and the money in her account was the money left after paying the memory care center..that I use some to buy her clothes and etc..so they are telling me that I need to return the money back to the state..( that is in checks big account)and she was paid up for 30 days in the month of March and she died on the 20th..so I know that goes back to state what every days she dnt use..but not sure if her checking account..yes it’s a shame that they throw this at me when my mom just died..
I’m not sure I understand what you are asking.
Did you take money from your mothers account? Her social security?
Give us a few more details and hopefully we can help you figure this out.
