The website asks a series of questions to help you figure out what services you need, and then it offers you prescreened (background check) and qualified caregivers from the Commission’s Registry Services.
And the site helps you with the paperwork you need to be a household employer of a homecare worker. For those who qualify, the state pays for the workers’ compensation coverage. The website explains how you can get a help to learn how to complete employer tax forms, pay the caregiver, withhold and report payroll taxes, and issue W-2 statements. (This service costs about $22 an hour for people who do not qualify for Medicaid).
