Good question. I wouldn't think the SS would count because that is suppose to be used for her care. Its going to come into her bank acct every month unless u set up for the NH to become payee. Until then, you will have to pay the NH the amount of her SS every month, deducting whatever Medicaid allows for Personal needs. You may need to spend down that $700. Has your Mom been excepted because if so, then you only have a certain number of days to get her placed. In my State you have 90days to apply, spend down, get all the info needed and get the person placed.
If you have already applied, call the caseworker working on Moms application and run this by them.
