Wyoming: Who Can Be a Paid Family Caregiver Under Medicaid

Wyoming's Community Choices Waiver lets a participant-directed employer hire relatives, friends and, under defined conditions, a spouse as personal support workers through a financial management services agency; agency services are also available, and the waiver is slot-limited with a waiting list rule when capacity is reached.

Spouse
In defined cases
Adult child / other relatives
Yes
Friends / neighbors
Yes
Parent of a minor child
No

Who can be paid: Adult children, siblings, other relatives, friends and neighbors hired under participant direction; a spouse who has no authority over the participant's finances, when the care exceeds what a spouse would ordinarily provide; not a legal guardian or the designated employer of record.

The Home Care Agency is a free enrollment matching service — not a home care agency, not a Medicaid plan, and not a government agency. This research is educational. Eligibility, authorized hours and payment are always determined by the state program and, where applicable, the managed care plan.
