or potential for actual harm
Based on state/federal economic stimulus and Medicaid guidelines, resident financial record review, staff
interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure the resident's financial accounts were
maintained within the appropriate limits. This affected twelve residents (Residents #28, #35, #40, #43, #50,
#59, #64, #68, #71, #74, #75 and #79) of thirty-eight resident financial records reviewed. The facility census
was 86.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of the current state Medicaid resident trust guidelines revealed each resident that utilizes Medicaid
insurance may not keep more than $2,000 in a trust account. Also, the same guidelines confirmed that the
COVID-19 stimulus checks (three total) do not count as monthly income; so it would not affect a resident's
medical coverage. But, a resident who utilizes Medicaid insurance, and received stimulus payment(s), they
have 12 months to spend that money from the time they receive 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:
$1,200 in April 2020, $600 in December 2020/January 2021, and $1,400 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, $3,200; from
December 2020/January 2021 to March 2021, $3,800; and from March 2021 to April 2021, $5,200. Starting
in April 2021, residents were only permitted to have $4,000. Starting in December 2021/January 2022,
residents were only permitted to have $3,400. Then, in April 2022, residents would have to be back down to
the permitted $2,000.

limit for Medicaid Personal Trust Accounts. BOM #204 stated all twelve residents were issued a
spend-down notification on 03/21/22. BOM #204 verified the facility has taken no other actions since then in
attempt to decrease these fund accounts.
Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Trust Fund Management, dated October 2019, revealed the
facility will maintain the management of resident trust fund accounts in each campus to ensure compliance
with state and federal guidelines. The campus will notify resident in writing who receives Medicaid benefits
when the balance of the account was $200 less than the maximum amount allowed to be eligible for
Medicaid.
Review of the facility's undated policy titled Medicaid Fund Surplus revealed the definition of a surplus of
funds was when there was an amount of cash over the resource limit for an active Medicaid recipient.
Having a surplus at the time of Medicaid application or recertification can cause eligibility to be denied. To
ensure the funds are appropriately spent down below the resource limit, follow the below process: funds
should be spent on the needs of the resident. Clothes, toiletries, electronics, etc. Or a pre-paid burial plan.
