SALT LAKE CITY â An idea that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic has helped hundreds of families with a loved one who has disabilities, but now is in danger of running out of funding. Caregiver compensation, which provides a small amount of money for a family member to stay home and provide care for someone, has been funded by the state through the end of August. But it depends on whether the federal government grants a Medicaid waiver and authorizes the use of American Rescue Plan Act money to keep it going beyond then.
