Nursing homes have no claim to their residents' stimulus checks. That hasn't stopped some facilities from trying to take them anyway.
The Federal Trade Commission reported that that nursing homes in several states are requesting residents sign over their stimulus checks. The facilities may say they get to keep the payment if a patient is on Medicaid, which isn't true, said Lois Greisman, the FTC's Elder Justice Coordinator.Here's why: The stimulus checks are considered tax credits per the CARES Act, which is providing economic relief to people and businesses.
That's been going on for a very long time! Doesn't matter what KIND of a check it is, and that's NOT 'news?'
Probably mandated by NYGovCuomo
Bring them to justice so they can cash those checks at the prison's mess facility! 😒
better call saul!
Sounds like Democrats
robbing sick n senile residents is vile
This is worth real attention! Where are the reports? The widespread celebrity outrage? Internet mob? 😞 Well, if they show up ... tell em’ to charge!!! 👉
Who will step up and advocate for our priceless generation? Please find someone to help, Mark. mcuban
This is for the better. The elderly tend to vote Trump, even though they are senile and literally can't go for single day without shitting themselves. Just like Trump.
Un-fucking-believable. And by that I mean totally believable. These places are awful.
Of course they will. Who’s shocked by this?
Pure greed
Nursing homes need to start getting shutdown. No exceptions .
I think the biggest reason we see the elderly as grumpy in our society is because we stuff them into these homes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
People are evil...
This disease has exposed nursing homes in a lot of ways. They need to have more oversight. They need to hire more skilled employees, have more stringent background checks, and pay them better wages. Someone needs to stand up for those who can't defend themselves.
A Story that is not being told all over the world is Ellie’s story please read this by clicking on justiceforellie
that should be a crime
Screw you Trump
Cuomo approves
Over 1000 people are infected with Corona 19
Cuomo taking all the checks of the people he killed. Scumbag.
Fake news
I am not surprised
Let’s blame President Trump for this, too! 😂😂🇺🇸👍🏼
Wtf..this crude and evil..
Terror abuse in Nursing homes , gotten bad, mainly because nursing homes aren’t just for elderly anymore. Many States, now have young people staying there, many with Social problems, like that video of a man beating a elderly person , his roommate, the elderly was in his bed.
Typical leftists.
Sounds liberal to me, liberals love other people's money.
JaydonHayden ?
Why provide a cheque? Why not direct transfer to bank account?
but, BIDEN SAYS: 'You aint BLACK!' to a black person, but CNN is silent all day on this MAJOR racism in their candidate. Can we say 'fake news' propaganda channel? Or maybe China News Network CNN hoping for a Biden win. So CNN talks up distractions! CNNisFakeNews
What is wrong with people?
😡
Should disclose nursing home names.

If Medicaid is paying for cost of nursing home, the state government regulation mandates that stimulus checks go to nursing home to pay the nursing home bills. Residents on Medicaid are allowed to keep only small amounts of money. If they have too much they lose eligibility
American greed
EXACTLY, AND IN GEORGIA THE COVID-19 IS KILLING THEM WITH LEADERSHIP COVERING THE FIGURES AS THEY ARE LOOKING TO BANK ON THE DEATHS JUST AS THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING. DOLLARS FOR LIVES $$$$$$$
Naah uuh? Seriously?
This is one those tip of the iceberg situations. Yeah this is happening but there is a whole system in place of people stealing from the elderly and the sick.
Biden campaign hanging out at nursing homes?
That’s criminal theft
WTAF 🦠💩🦠🦠💩
IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW
Perhaps realDonaldTrump can advise the states that they cannot touch the Stimulus Checks. Apparrantly they are considering these payments as Non Tax Payments
Are these nursing homes free? Or do they give their pension to these homes? Or the family is paying for that? How does this work?
Fake News CNN is covering for New York Governor MURDERING over 5,300 grandmas and grandpas because of his arrogance, corruption, incompetence, recklessness, and apathy!! He should RESIGN and be prosecuted for his crimes....but where's CNN
