Terms of Use

1. Agreeing to these terms

By using CaregiverBenefits.org, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this site. Using the site is your way of saying you accept these terms.

2. The information we provide

CaregiverBenefits.org is a free educational website. We write about caregiver benefits, programs, legal tools, and health topics. Our goal is to help caregivers find real help in plain English.

We are not a government agency. We are not connected to Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, Social Security, or any state program. We do not apply for benefits on your behalf. We do not represent you in any legal or official matter.

3. No legal, medical, or financial advice

Nothing on this site is legal advice, medical advice, or financial advice. Reading a guide on this site does not create any professional relationship between you and us.

Caregiver law, Medicaid rules, Medicare rules, VA benefits, and tax laws are complex and change often. The rules are different in every state. What is true in one state may not be true in yours.

Always talk to a licensed professional before:

• Applying for Medicaid or VA benefits
• Signing legal documents like a Power of Attorney
• Making decisions about a loved one's medical care
• Filing taxes or claiming tax deductions
• Taking money or property from a care recipient
• Making changes to an estate plan

4. Affiliate links disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This does not change the price you pay. We clearly label affiliate links when they appear.

We only link to products and services we have researched. However, we cannot verify every claim made by companies we link to. Always do your own research before buying any product or service.

CaregiverBenefits.org is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program designed to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com.

5. Accuracy of information

We work hard to make sure our information is correct and up to date. Our guides are reviewed by licensed professionals before they go live. We update content when laws or programs change.

However, we cannot guarantee that everything on this site is 100% accurate, complete, or current. Program rules change. Dollar amounts change. Eligibility rules change. We may not catch every change right away.

Always confirm information directly with the program or agency before you apply or make any decisions.

8. Links to other websites

This site links to government websites, nonprofit organizations, and other third-party sites. We link to them because we believe they are helpful.

We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. A link from us is not an endorsement. Always check the date and source of information you find on other sites.

9. Copyright

All original text, graphics, and tools on CaregiverBenefits.org are our property, unless otherwise stated. You may not copy or republish our work without written permission.

Government documents and public domain content we reference remain in the public domain. We always credit our sources.

10. Limit on our responsibility

We provide this site "as is." We are not responsible for any harm that comes from using this site or following information on it. This includes money you lose, decisions you make, or actions you take based on anything you read here.

Our total responsibility to you under these terms is zero. We know that sounds harsh. But this is standard for a free educational website. It is why we keep telling you to talk to a licensed professional before making big decisions.
