An Act allowing spouses to serve as caregivers
This bill allows married couples to work as paid caregivers for one another under the MassHealth program in Massachusetts. It amends state law to authorize spouses to provide specific home-based care services, provided these arrangements comply with federal regulations. To make this possible, the state's health and human services department must submit a plan or waiver application to the federal government within six months of the law taking effect.
