Join us on America’s Heroes Show with Stephanie Kalota, U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant First Class Veteran and Founder of The Political Veteran Podcast, alongside Keisha L. Jackson, U.S. Air Force Veteran and Family Caregiver Advocate.
In this episode, we discuss programs that pay family caregivers and the essential resources available to support those caring for loved ones. Many caregivers sacrifice their jobs, income, and benefits to care for aging or disabled family members, but there are financial assistance programs available.
Key topics include:
✅ Medicaid programs that compensate family caregivers
✅ VA Caregiver Support for veterans and their families
✅ State-specific programs that provide financial relief
✅ Elder law and legal steps for securing caregiver payments
✅ Tax credits, long-term care insurance, and self-pay options
✅ The importance of background checks and caregiver training
If you are a family caregiver or know someone who is, this discussion provides critical information on how to get financial support while caring for loved ones.
