Do you have a family member or friend with a disability or chronic illness?
You may qualify for free caregiver certification and weekly pay through the NY Medicaid programs:
PCA Program – Care for adults 18+ with disability or chronic illness
OPWDD Waiver Program – Care for children or adults with developmental disabilities
✅ No experience needed – same-day PCA certification
✅ Faster onboarding than CDPAP
✅ Build a stable caregiving career while helping your loved one
❌ Not eligible: spouses, sons/daughters, or legal guardians (per NY rules)
