Why can't they just give her cash back? You mom can deposit it in her checking account. By all means, do not let your mom keep more than $650 in that account or it wiil surely disappear. This smells fishy and I'm really surprised you have to ask our advice on this. If your mom can't see the danger here, maybe she shouldn't be in control of the checkbook either.
