Caregivers

  • Must provide care to a qualifying patient, either temporarily or permanently
  • May be a relative or someone who lives in the same household as the qualifying patient and/or be employed by a day care center or a public or private institutional facility 
  • There is no statutory limitation on compensation for designated caregivers

While designated caregivers are defined in the law, no legal protections are afforded to caregivers.
