First, my heartfelt sympathy for the passing of your husband.

Sorry, I don't know of any government program that would pay a spouse for caregiving. In fact, vast majority of grown children are not paid for caring for their own parents.

My reason for asking is because my husband was a veteran getting a small pension and I was reading it saying you can get additional for being the caregiver

Sorry sparks, but every government program expects the spouse to give care as part of their marital vows.
