Caregiver Funding To Family Members Subject Of Pa Study
Pennsylvania programs for caregiver services are going to get a lookover reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)
Cox notes that the best person to care for a Pennsylvanian is often a family member but barriers exist in that prevent family members from receiving funding to serve as caregivers.
“That is why I introduced and the state House approved a resolution calling for a bipartisan legislative committee comprised of six senators and six representatives to review this situation,” Cox said.
The committee is tasked with identifying whether the barriers were created through laws, regulations or policies.
Once the committee conducts its review and provides recommendations, the House and Senate will be better prepared to consider changes to remove the barriers that prevent family members from serving as caregivers. The report is due within the next six months.
