I am sure the VA determines what they will cover. Unless its Aide and Attenance. He may get a lump sum and he pays you out of that.
Call around and see whatva CNA is paid per hour in a hospital or nursing facility. See if there are others being paid privately. Call agencies to see what they pay.
If you are new to all this, I recommend you call the Labor board. IRS does not recognize CNAs as self-employed. It will be up to your employer to take out payroll taxes and see they get to the correct agencies. You will get a W2 at the eoy not a 1099.
Um, I wouldn't even attempt to have the VA pay me 'under the table'--in fact, I'm pretty sure the VA is not going to go for that.
There needs to be an accounting for the monies spent. 'Under the table' sounds shady, b/c it often is. There's babysitting and paying a 15 yo to watch your kids--yeah, you pay THEM 'under the table'--they aren't employees.
You pay a person for 39 hrs of work ( basically FT) and so you better be upfront and work out the way you get a contract with them. Yes, you can call them a 1099 employee and paying taxes and such is their responsibility. Sadly, none of us is 'safe' from the taxation of practically every cent that comes into our lives.
When I worked in Elder Care, one of my clients kids thought I needed to be paid a great deal more. He went to the company and they worked out a 'tipping' schedule and money was paid to them, privately and then taxed appropriately and I saw a huge raise--but it was all on the up and up. It showed up on my W-2 as an hourly adjustment.
I'm bumping this question up as I'm not sure of the answer, but I would think that the VA would have a set $ amount/hr. along with a certain amount of hours that they will approve for a caregiver, depending on the percentage rating of the veterans disability.

The VA will pay what it pays, if this payment is coming from VA.
Ask them what payment to expect.
I think I may be misunderstanding your question, so a little more info may help me to provide a bit better answer to you.
Good luck.
I'm thinking 15 an hour if it's under the table but I could be very wrong
