Medicaid Payments for Caregiving Spouses: Husbands and wives could be hired as Medicaid-paid caregivers for their elderly or disabled spouses under provisions of a bill heard on Beacon Hill last month. The bill was created to correct an “oversight” in some MassHealth programs that do not include the paid caregiver option for married couples. Some MassHealth programs, including adult foster care and personal home attendant programs, allow family members other than spouses to be paid caregivers for Medicaid recipients. Our office will be watching this bill as it makes its way through the committee.
Rep. Hogan Opens District Office: Kate is pleased to announce the grand opening of a district office at the Maynard Town Hall Building located at 195 Main Street (basement level.) The building is accessible.
