Get Paid as a Family Caregiver in Oklahoma

Yes. These are real Medicaid programs run by the state. In Oklahoma, they are overseen by the Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS). We help you enroll — applying costs you nothing.

Care at home costs Medicaid far less than a nursing home. So states pay family members to give that care at home. It's good for your loved one, and it's the law working the way it should.

Sometimes — it depends on the program and the care needed. The fine print: limited — spouse can be hired 'only in rare situations'; adult children, siblings, grandchildren, nieces/nephews routinely allowed

Not for young children right now — but parents of adult children can often be paid. The fine print: no — ADvantage serves adults; parents of minors not covered by this waiver

Reported figures are around $11.46–$13.80/hr, but rates vary — the program sets your exact pay. We'll tell you your real number before you enroll.

Some programs here have no waitlist. Others can have one. Details: not an entitlement — limited slots (~26,972/yr) and a waitlist forms when full

It depends on the program. In Oklahoma: self-directed (member is employer); Acumen Fiscal Agent is the required fiscal/financial management agent
