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.

South Dakota

Structured Family Caregiving (HOPE Waiver)

Per SD Dept. of Human Services / Dept. of Social Services official Structured Family Caregiving guidance, the state 'encourages the employment of spouses, parents or adult children' as the principal caregiver; non-relative 'fictive kin' may also qualify.

Also: Family Support 360 Program (primarily serves the I/DD population, also self-directed)

Eligibility, dollar amounts, and application steps are set by the state and can change. Only South Dakota's own program can confirm eligibility. This is not an eligibility determination.
