My brother is stealing all of my mother's pension checks, and he is living on them and refuses to get a job. My mom is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's. Who do I call to report this? All the lawyers I have called told me they don't do that. Please HELP.
Who is POA? If brother he is frauding the government. He needs to be reported to Medicaid. The pension must not have been mentioned on her application.
If you r POA, then see if the NH can contact the firm holding the pension and ask that they become payees. I did this with both Moms SS and pension. All I did was sign paperwork with the home. They took care of the rest.
How is the NH being paid?
The quickest thing for you to do is to call the NH business office and find out if moms pensions checks are going to them, along with her social security payments.
If they are not being paid, they will be very interested in having your brother investigated.
However, you may well find that all of her income is going to the NH to pay for her care.
