·State program
Money Follows the Person
Money Follows the Person Demonstration serves MassHealth members aged 18 and older who are disabled, or aged 65 and older, helping them transition to community living.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Massachusetts?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (18–null)?
- 03
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 06
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.
- 07
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 08
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
