can government pay me as caregiver?
My wife is legally blind and i take care of her, i work out of the house about 8 hours a day, but my wife needs a cornea surgery and will not be able to take care of her or my kids for about 6 months. now i have to take care of her and the kids 24/7 and will be forced to leave the job during that time. she receives ssi as for income but me leaving the job will leave a huge gap on our budget, we already a month behind on rent and the surgery has not been done yet. is there any way i can apply for government help as caregiver to my wife? if so what is the name of the program and who should i contact? i already talked to the ssi office and they told me there are programs but they do not know the names or who to contact...
We live on Massachusetts if it helps some how.
