Family Caregivers
Already caring for an adult family member? You may be able to get paid for it.
Pennsylvania disability waiver programs may permit certain relatives to become paid support workers. We'll help you understand whether this could apply — honestly, and with no obligation.
Who this may apply to
It depends on your relationship, your waiver, and your plan.
Eligibility to be a paid family caregiver depends on waiver rules, county practice, and the participant's approved plan. These family relationships are the ones most often considered:
- Parents caring for an adult son or daughter
- Adult children caring for a parent
- Spouses and partners, in some circumstances
- Other relatives, depending on waiver rules and the participant's plan
