If you have proof that your SIL took her and your husband's inheritance before MIL died, you call the police and you file financial abuse of a vulnerable elder and violation of fiduciary responsibilities by the POA charges.

She CAN NOT do anything as the POA that benefits her. It is illegal and punishable by prosecution. So is taking her social security check.

Get the police involved. Ask them to involve APS because the POA is neglecting the needs of the person she is representing by failing to provide finances to feed, cloth and care for her, on top of the above.

Don't play nice, this kind of behavior needs to be dealt with to the fullest measure the law allows.
