​Notes from Payroll Services

Most in home care programs are paid thru Federal programs and there are State and Federal Rules that you must comply with: 
  • Background checks are required. (3Rivers charges $20 to cover a portion of these fees)
  • Workers must be 18 years of age or older
  • Guardians are allowed to be paid caregivers under some circumstances.   Participants and Guardians should consult their MCO Care Coordinator
  • “Designated Representative” can be assigned. HCBS Participants may designate a representative to direct their care on their behalf.  This individual may not serve as the paid caregiver and must act in the best interest of the HCBS Participant in directing the DSW.
