Eligibility¶
- Applicant age: at least 18

Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Alaska? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Does your relationship to the person (child, other relative, or non relative) count for this program?
- Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60 or older)?
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
