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 Mississippi? Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • Does your relationship to the person (other relative) count for this program?
  • What are the current income and asset limits, and whose income counts? Our record lists 150% of the federal poverty level. Limits change, so confirm the current figures.
  • What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
  • 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?
