I have heard there is a program that will pay me to be the full-time caregiver to my spouse. I now work full-time and he is getting to where he needs a full time caregiver. I know there is a federal or state program that will pay me. He is a retired veteran and is not on medicaid. Does anyone have any ideas or direction to point me regarding this? Would really be much appreciated.
With Medicaid [which is different from Medicare] I remember reading where spouses cannot be paid as a caregiver. I don't know if that had changed. You would need to check with your State Medicaid office.
Since your hubby was in the military, check with the Veterans Administration to see what programs they have. https://www.agingcare.com/veterans-assistance
