If yes, how? by reginaphalange360 There seems to be conflicting answers so I'll throw mine into the mix. In Washington, my mother could not be a paid caregiver for my dad, but my younger sibling could. Family can, but not spouses in my experience. You can hire a caregiver of course, free of charge as long as your spouse does not receive the disability maximum. Permalink 1
