F 0569 Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on state/federal economic stimulus and Medicaid guideline review, record review, financial record review and interview the facility failed to ensure each resident who received Medicaid and/or their financial representative were notified when the amount in the resident's personal funds account reached $200.00 less than the SSI resource limit as required. This affected four residents (#57, #74, #34 and #37) of 65 residents whose personal fund records were reviewed. Residents Affected - Some Findings Include: Review of current state Medicaid resident trust guidelines revealed each resident who utilized Medicaid insurance may not keep more than $2000.00 in a trust account. Also, the same guidelines revealed COVID-19 stimulus checks (three total) did not count as monthly income; so they would not affect a resident's medical coverage. However, a resident who utilized Medicaid insurance and received stimulus payment(s) had 12 months to spend the money from the time they received it. Review of the federal COVID-19 stimulus documentation revealed three different economic impact payments made to eligible persons. The following were the dates and payment amounts for individuals: $1200.00 in April 2020, $600.00 in December 2020/January 2021, and $1400.00 in March 2021. With these guidelines, a resident who received all three stimulus payments would only be permitted to have the following amounts in their trust account: from April 2020 to December 2020/January 2021, $3200.00; from December 2020/January 2021 to March 2021, $3800.00; and from March 2021 to April 2021, $5200.00. Starting in April 2021, residents were only permitted to have $4000.00. Starting in December 2021/January 2022 residents were only permitted to have $3400.00. Then, in April 2022, residents would have to be back down to the permitted $2000.00 limit. 1. Resident #57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizophrenia, atherosclerosis, muscle weakness, cognitive communication deficit, dementia, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and hypertension.

According to his current account statement, the resident had $4642.05 available in his trust account effective 08/02/22. This was over the maximum allotment of $2000.00. Record review revealed no evidence of a spend down notice being provided for Resident #57.
