My sister lives in NJ. She got put in a nursing home by her hubby as she has Ms and now she's ready to come home. She's doing a lot better since her fall. She uses a walker. She recently got social security, 1700 a month and Medicaid. She said nursing home is taking all money from her to pay for nursing home and supposedly nursing home costs 10,000 a month. My question is that once she goes back Home to live with her hubby will nursing gone still be able to take out all her social security each month? I don't think they have a right to now? Does she need to call social security and tell them she does not want NH to be rep payee? When she gets home e she will need money to pay bills like electric, water, cable, and groceries, etc? Please tell me what she needs to do so she gets her social security money please advise thanks
To answer your question, No, the home cannot continue to receive her money but she will need to change her payee back to her. I really think there is a lot more to all this. So hard to give you a good answer.
