Caregiver Pay Estimator
Some states let a family member get paid through a consumer-directed Medicaid or HCBS program. We have researched official state programs for 25 states. Every figure links to the state's own page. Eligibility is always decided by the state, never by us.
Iowa
Consumer-Directed Attendant Care (CDAC)
The state's official page confirms this program exists. It does not state which family members can be paid, so we do not guess. Call the state program directly to ask.
Also: Individual Consumer-Directed Attendant Care (ICDAC) - individual-provider pathway that Iowa HHS has been discontinuing for new enrollment due to IRS/CMS tax-treatment compliance issues
Eligibility, dollar amounts, and application steps are set by the state and can change. Only Iowa's own program can confirm eligibility. This is not an eligibility determination.
