LINCOLN, NE, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Family members providing unpaid care to aging relatives in Nebraska may be eligible for compensation through state and federal programs, including Medicaid waivers and veterans’ services. With an increasing number of older adults choosing to age in place, awareness of these options is growing in Lincoln and across the state.

“We’ve seen countless families sacrifice careers and income to care for parents, spouses, or siblings,” said a spokesperson for AmanaCare. “Our goal is to help them access the programs that exist—whether through Medicaid, the VA, or private arrangements—and walk them through the process every step of the way.”

In Nebraska, the Aged and Disabled Medicaid Waiver allows qualifying individuals to receive in-home support instead of moving into a nursing facility. Under this program, care recipients can designate certain family members to serve as paid caregivers, provided they meet eligibility criteria. The goal is to keep individuals safe and supported in their homes while recognizing the work of those who provide care.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) administers the waiver and offers assessments to determine medical and financial eligibility. In most cases, spouses and legal guardians are excluded from compensation, but adult children and other relatives may qualify.

In addition to Medicaid, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers similar support through programs like the Veteran-Directed Care Program and the Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit. These options allow eligible veterans to receive care from a family member and may include financial assistance to support the arrangement.

Local in-home care agencies, such as AmanaCare In-Home Assistance in Lincoln, are available to help families understand available benefits and guide them through application processes. While not all families will qualify for public funding, some may explore alternatives such as long-term care insurance or structured private-pay agreements for caregiving.

According to public health data, unpaid family caregivers provide the majority of long-term care in the United States. Programs like those offered in Nebraska aim to reduce financial hardship and support the stability of home-based care for seniors.

Basic Steps to Explore Eligibility:
Contact the Nebraska DHHS for an initial assessment under the Aged and Disabled Medicaid Waiver.

Veterans and their families should consult the VA about eligibility for home-based care programs.

Families can speak with care coordination agencies to determine whether formal caregiver agreements can be structured legally and ethically.

Some programs may require caregiver training or background checks before approval.

Residents of Lincoln and the surrounding areas interested in learning more can consult DHHS, local Area Agencies on Aging, or in-home care providers familiar with these support options.

“You may already be doing the work—now it’s time to receive the support and compensation you deserve,” the spokesperson said.

Branża materiałów budowlanych ostrzega przed rosnącym importem ze Wschodu. Rząd zapowiada działania w tym kierunku

Polscy przedstawiciele branży materiałów budowlanych są zaniepokojeni skalą importu wyrobów spoza Unii Europejskiej. Postępujące uzależnienie europejskiego rynku od dostaw z krajów o niższych standardach środowiskowych, pracowniczych i jakościowych skutkuje nie tylko osłabieniem jego konkurencyjności, spadkiem krajowej produkcji i redukcją miejsc pracy, ale również ucieczką emisji CO2. Branża apeluje więc o wprowadzenie zmian w zakresie handlu, w tym o wyrównanie stawek celnych na materiały budowlane. Rząd zapowiada podjęcie działań, które będą wspierać krajową branżę.

Wystartowały prace przy budowie bazy operacyjno-serwisowej w Ustce. Inwestycja będzie zapleczem dla obsługi morskiej farmy wiatrowej, którą PGE buduje na Bałtyku wraz z duńską firmą Ørsted. Uruchomienie Baltica 2 zaplanowane jest na 2027 rok. Baza ma także potencjał, by obsługiwać kolejne projekty morskie PGE. Będzie mieć znaczenie nie tylko dla rozwoju offshore w Polsce, lecz także dla samego regionu.

Rynek nieprzygotowany do wdrożenia systemu kaucyjnego. Może się opóźnić nawet o kilka miesięcy

Zdaniem przedstawicieli Polskiej Federacji Producentów Żywności Polska nie jest jeszcze przygotowana na wprowadzenie systemu kaucyjnego 1 października br. Za główny powód opóźnień podają brak licencji, które mogą powodować potężne straty finansowe. Eksperci wskazują, że system może ruszyć z kilkumiesięcznym opóźnieniem, co spowoduje chaos zarówno wśród konsumentów, jak i w handlu.
