Do NOT give them power of attorney where her social security check is concerned.<br /><br />My mom was in a home for a few months. I received her check at our house, put it in our joint account (mine and my mom's), and paid the bill from that. The entire time the home's accountant was down my throat about having the SS check sent to them.<br /><br />Once, the check was accidentally delivered to the home and when I went there to ask about it, I learned that they'd opened in and put it in their account. When they threatened me with all kinds of BS I reminded them that opening another's mail without authorization--especially a government check--and then banking it was a federal crime, they begrudgingly cut me a replacement check.<br /><br />Not to add any negativity to your already difficult situation, but please be wary and savvy. When you're filling out their forms they're as nice as can be. Our situation over this forced me to remove my mom and bring her back home with us, where she stayed until her death.<br /><br />Asshats.Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.com
