By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Quick summary of what I've read:
**The IRS issued an advisory last week**** to clarify that the economic impact payments distributed as part of the latest stimulus package belong to recipients, not a nursing home or assisted-living facility.
**** article dated JUNE 22, 2020, so he CAN'T feign ignorance - this WASN'T issued last week!!!
**The IRS and other federal agencies have reported hearing situations where nursing homes and other elderly care organizations have seized the payments, arguing that because the residents are receiving Medicaid, the facilities are entitled to the money.
**“The IRS issued this reminder ... that
“These payments do not count as a resource for purposes of determining eligibility for Medicaid and other federal programs for a period of 12 months from receipt.
They also do not count as income in determining eligibility for these programs.”
**The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also put out an advisory.
"...the stimulus payment is an advanced tax credit, and as such, it is not considered income, which is why it’s not taxed. As a result, for the purpose of qualifying for federal benefits, such as Medicaid, the stimulus payment is not counted as a resource..."
The article suggests contacting your state AG, if they took the funds and refuse to return them.
That blowhard at the facility needs a reality slap. I would contact the place and go up the food chain. If that gets you the same answer, contact the state AG - let them get up their butts and do a scope - they may find even more "issues" and make some trouble for them!!
Is your mom inquiring about the money? How did you happen to speak to the DON about it?
So cool, all that excellent information!

Your POA does mean s***. Your Mom's representative. Maybe a letter from a lawyer will confirm it.

Are There Restrictions on How I Can Spend the Stimulus Money?
In general, a resident can spend the stimulus money as they wish, including gifts and charitable
contributions. This is the resident’s money to spend on their wants and needs.
Here is the site I found it.
