Can I get paid to care for my family member?

Sometimes. Some Medicaid programs and some Veteran programs let a family member be paid as a caregiver. Rules are strict and vary by state.

Ask your Area Agency on Aging or Medicaid office. Do not assume you qualify. Getting paid does not mean you have to do it alone forever.
