What the kit includes (PDF, about 33 pages, English)

  • ✓ A step by step application plan with 7 steps and checkboxes
  • ✓ A call script for the case manager or Medicaid office, with 10 questions to ask
  • ✓ A document checklist for the person who needs care and for the caregiver
  • ✓ A call log and a deadline tracker to print and fill in
  • ✓ A plain language glossary of common program terms
  • ✓ A 51 state program table: program, spouse rule, and published pay, from the official data on this site
  • ✓ The official steps for every state program listed on this site
  • ✓ Every official source link, federal and state

What the kit is not

  • It is not an application. You apply with your state agency, and applying is free.
  • It does not decide eligibility or guarantee approval, hours, or pay. Only the agency decides.
  • It is not legal, medical, or financial advice.
  • It is not from a government agency. This is an independent site.

Also free on every state page

Every state page has a checklist you can print. The kit puts the planner, the script, and the trackers together in one PDF.
