I am getting ready to get married and was wondering if there is any one in the US that is married and getting paid to care for your husband or wife through a consumer direct program or through an agency

I live in Texas and can't get paid for taking care of my husband, but a family member can. So Crazy.

Hi My wife and I are here in Wisconsin and here you can get pay as a spouse, But it goes according to your income. Since I work full time our combined income is to much for the program. They count every thing you make . We run two businesses ,our horse boarding stable and I also install ceramic tile. I would check with all the state agencies and even the countys have different programs. I hope I've helped.
