After doing some research on current headlines related to paid caregiving I found an article that resonates with the state of Arizona specifically. In this article I learned that parents caregiving for their child or a minor can receive benefits such as financial support to help cover the costs of attendant care and habilitation. 2020 was the beginning of this opportunity for many parents caregiving for their minor during the Covid-19 Pandemic but has become an on going opportunity since then. During the pandemic nurses or caregiving workers eventually would leave the work force or call out sick leaving the parents to care for their child alone. But because of this act of security the AHCCCS made sure that each family was not left to fend for themselves in this time of lockdown.
