My sister has been taking care of me for almost five years and she should receive payment for her services. What actions do I need to take?
As stated above I am 75 years old and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis since 1997. Additionally lower back nerve impingement, pernicious anemia, several fractures from falls, and the inability to walk. I cannot survive independently.
From usa.gov/disability-caregiver: "If someone with a disability already receives Medicaid, their state may allow a family member or friend to become a paid caregiver. Many states call this a consumer-directed personal assistance program. Each state has different requirements and rules. And the amount the program pays you to care for a family member varies by state. Contact your state’s Medicaid office for more information."
