Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for Home Care Allowance?

Eligibility for HCA is based on both financial need and the individual’s functional needs. The individual shall meet eligibility for both financial and functional requirements to be approved for an HCA payment.

To be financially eligible, the client shall:
1. Be approved for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits; or,
2. Meet all eligibility criteria required for Aid to the Needy Disabled – State Only (AND-SO) program; or,
3. Have been receiving both Old Age Pension (OAP) grant payments and HCA as of December 31, 2013 and remain continuously eligible for both benefits.

A case manager will meet with the applicant to determine if they meet the functional requirements of the program.

HCA cannot be received while receiving Home and Community Based Services.

HCA is designed to serve individuals with the lowest functional abilities and the greatest need for paid care.
