I asked this before, but did not see an answer, “Can a family member be paid to be a caregiver?”

Here is a link to your first question of May 12 with the answers that were provided to you:

Do you mean a family member gets paid by the state (Medicaid) to be a caregiver?

If your state has a program for family caregivers and your family member is on Medicaid. These kinds of family caregiver programs are through Medicaid and Medicaid gets their money back when the family member dies if they own property like a house.

Other than a Medicaid-sponsored program, I do not know of another way for a family caregiver to get paid. Some states like mine (CT) have grant programs but they pay for agency homecare aides not family caregivers.

yes you can...if the person you are caring FOR is willing to pay you.
