How do you get paid from the gov when you care for an elder?

what is ihss?

call medical and see if you can qualify for IHSS

Don't they get SS? There is always welfare. But then you may only get food stamps. Ask a local church - we did that in our church a couple of times. But I don't got there anymore because of my husband being sick. Besides have to know a lot more than what you have said. But give SS a call and they can tell you.
