With wife in nurs.home, can husb rent a fam. inherited home and not have to claim to State the proceeds?

Question

Wife in a State-provided facility, can husb rent a family-inherited home, (after the fact of admission to nurs. home) and keep the proceeds without reporting to the State?

Answer 1

No, of course not. State provided facilities are normally provided and charged for on the basis of income/need. The husband involved here needs to come clean about all sources of income to the state involved. Anything less than that can be considered fraud.
