How to receive payment for taking care of a parent?

We really need more info. I haven’t heard very encouraging things about a member of the family being paid enough to be a caregiver to actually make a living. I’ve read the money comes out of the person’ s account, so if you stand to inherit money, you’ll inherit less. I am my husband’s caregiver, and I seem to remember when I checked it out once, I would have gotten something like $40 a week.

jdmessina, can you give us more information.... such as payment from whom?
