Does social security pay a spouse to take care of a spouse?

The vast majority of relatives caring for a love one do not get paid, unless that love one pays that person directly.  Social Security does not pay.

Another option is for your spouse to apply and be accepted by Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. Now, it all depends on your State and what Medicaid programs they have, not all States have the same programs. If by chance your State does pay, the pay would be very minimal.
