More details to this question:
can i withdraw money from a joint account under my aocial security number that i hold with my mother who just entered a nursing home currently for rehab but will be long term
Since your mother's name is on the bank account, a withdrawal from the account will usually be treated as a gift from her and cause her a period of ineligibility from MassHealth.
