Findings include: The facility had a Resident Trust Fund policy. The policy documented that fund balances for Medicaid recipients should be monitored monthly by the Resident Trust Custodian to ensure that state maximum balances are not exceeded. Resident (R) #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A resident trust account was opened on 6/18/19. A review of the Authorization and Agreement to Handle Resident Funds form revealed that the resident had enrolled in a non-transferring resident fund account and opted for direct deposit of social security and supplemental security income. A review of the account activity for R#8 revealed that the account balance exceeded the $2000 limit from 10/1/19 through 12/9/19. However, there was no evidence that the facility addressed the balance of excess funds, that began in October, until 12/9/19. During interviews on 12/9/19 at 3:40 p.m. and 4:20 p.m., the Business Office Manager stated that she had been in contact with the social security office because R#8 continued to receive her full benefits check, and she did not know if the social security office was aware the resident was in a nursing home. A review of a facsimile cover sheet revealed that contact with the social security office did not occur until 12/9/19.	2020-09-01
