Jeska - George answered your question in your other post.  If the money gets taken away, your mother may still be eligible for at least part of the payment, but it will involve filing a 2020 tax return next year.  But in the meantime, you might want to consider calling your congressperson and tell them your story.  If you don't get any satisfaction going down that road, I understand that newspapers and TV stations love telling stories like yours.  On the other hand, presidents and other elected officials don't really like to watch those kinds of stories on TV ----------------- for some odd reason, they seem to think that it makes them look bad.
