Parent in a nursing home?

Is mom or dad (or another relative) in a nursing home?

Please note that they are entitled to keep their stimulus payments – it doesn’t belong to the nursing home!

The IRS recently warned nursing homes and other care facilities that Economic Impact Payments (stimulus payments) generally belong to the recipients, not the organizations providing the care.
