How can I get paid for being sole caregiver for my partner?

Department of rehab may be able to set you up as a homemaker. There are also different groups I know of one called Sahara that will not only pay you but offer medical/nursing training as well.
good luck.

Social security doesn’t pay for a caregiver of any sort. As a spouse no, you really aren’t entitled to be paid to take care of your spouse. It’s part of being a spouse, you know? If your spouse qualifies for Medicaid then he/She may be eligible for home care and your state is one of few states that will pay a spouse.
