Expansion of the DC Caregiver Subsidies! Our advocacy has worked for a third time. First, we were able to expand the grandparent subsidy to include other relatives. Then, we were able to eliminate the 6-month eligibility period. And now, we have expanded the subsidy to include godparents, some relatives who live out-of-state, and relatives who also live with a disabled parent.
