We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I didn't have to sign mine. It was good at any ATM, and for myself I had them deposit to money in my account. They will ask YOU how much you got on the card as the monitors they plug it into don't tell the amount, so listen carefully when you they tell you on the phone when you "activate" the card, to the amount you are getting. For those with higher income it isn't the 600.00 amount. So just go to your bank teller and have them put the card right in their machine. Mine didn't ask for a signature at all. When you activate it with the SS number on the phone that will take care of everything.
The FAQ at the EIP card site that disgustedtoo mentioned also explains the remote deposit options:
"There are multiple ways to transfer the funds

ACH Transfer to Domestic Bank Limits Apply: $2,500 per transaction | $2,500 per day | $5,000 per month. Please see your Cardholder Agreement online at EIPCard.com"
This page doesn't answer the question, but it does give the phone number to activate the card and the same number if you have questions. Perhaps they can answer the questions?
I should think once the card is activated, you can use POA to deposit it into their account, which you already have POA for.
Another option, see https://www.eipcard.com/
There is a link on this page for a cardholder agreement - it's about the closest answer there might be:
"Each time you use your Card, you represent and warrant to us that you are either the Cardholder or an authorized user of the Card. If you permit someone else to use your Card, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be responsible for any transactions made subject to such use."
YOU would be the authorized user in this case. There is also an ATM locator link, using zip code. I tried mine and there were many locations listed.
Once you activate the card and have the PIN, why worry about a signature if you just want to withdraw the cash and deposit it into the LOs account? Just go to the ATM and withdraw the cash (or as much as the ATM allows) then deposit it. You should also be able to use it if you buy something at a store using the card reader. In general, no one checks the cards/signatures anymore.
Most of my most recent CCs haven't been signed, but the card reader takes them! Not a good practice, but... In your case, I'd probably sign it with my name, followed by DPOA.
