Questions that decide eligibility

GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:

1. 01

   Does the person receiving care live in Indiana?

   Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.

2. 02

   Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?

3. 03

   Do you need to live with the person receiving care, and how is that verified?

4. 04

   Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?

5. 05

   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.

6. 06

   What documents do you need from us to start an application?

7. 07

   Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
