How do I enroll in the Cash and Counseling program?

I gave up my job 7yrs. ago and have been caregiver for my Alzeheirmer Grandmother. Where and How do I apply for the cash and counseling program in Florida. Grandma is 92yrs. old and don't won't to put her in a facility, but I need so finance to pay for my medical. I have no medical or dental coverage.

AgingCare.com has a great article that outlines this program. Check it out here: https://www.agingcare.com/articles/Medicaid-Cash-and-Counseling-Allows-Pay-for-Family-Caregivers-133268.htm . Florida is an "income capped state" - likely your grandmother qualifies for Medicaid so that would work for you. The other option is to just call your Medicaid office and let them help you.
Good luck. I hope you get help.
