As the country begins recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, caretakers of the elderly must stay abreast of issues that could potentially impact their loved ones.

Senior citizens affected by the healthcare crisis have more time to apply for or change Medicare plans, and States aren’t allowed to terminate Medicaid benefits as the public health emergency remains in effect.

If your loved one is waiting for a Stimulus Payment, but they haven’t received it yet, check to make sure the assisted living or nursing home hasn’t seized the funds.

BRC Law remains committed to helping you navigate any eldercare crises you experience. Contact our offices to set up an in-person, phone, or online consultation today!
