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.

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej

Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
