My father in law was admitted into a nursing home in July. We have been working on getting him his retirement pension for almost a year now. We finally got a check for almost $5000, paying him retro to Jan 1, 2001. We feel since he has only been in the nursing home since July, they should only get his monthly amount starting in July, and continuing on until he dies. However, some things I've read say one thing and some say another. We want to know what the law says about this. Other than this, he has no money to his name, no estate, etc. He was living in a homeless shelter before this, so all forms we filled out say he had no money, and only this as potential income. Also, we are in the process of filing for Medicaid to suppliment his pension and pay for the nursing home. What should we do with the $5000?
