I know they are very strict on how the money is spent so is it OK to go buy Christmas present from her to her family? She wants me to take her tomorrow and I don't want to do anything I will get in trouble for. It is her money and I think I should be able to do that. I just took this over so I am not sure of what is right or wrong. I just don't want to anything to get me in trouble. Also she just has Medicare so there isn't a limit she needs to keep in bank is there. Like with Medicaid, you can only have 2,000.
The amounts are small enough that if they do cause a penalty when she applies for Medicaid in a few years, it won't be substantial.
