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 North Dakota?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 03
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 04
Which tax year does this apply to, and what form claims it?
- 05
Does your employer already offer this, and have they told staff?
Some credits are claimed by the employer, not by you — asking is the move.
