Questions to ask the program¶

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

Does the person receiving care live in Minnesota? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
