Yes and no.  The State of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services and the Department of Rehabilitation, sponcers the Home Services Program.  Based on the needs of a disabled client, a Personal Assistant is assigned to work a specific amount of hours doing predetermined household duties.  The program does not pay all that well, and you do not necessarily get to live with the disabled person (unless you were already living with them beforehand), but it does provide a benefit to disabled people who would otherwise have to live in assisted care without the program.  I included the website for the Home Services Program, if you'ld like to contact someone about it.  Take care.

There are agencies that you can go to that will find you placements in this line of work.\n\nI don't think anyone is going to hire someone to live in their home that they just found on the internet like this.

I don't know about LA but in WI and IL they can if the mother is receiving any type of assistance for the child  i.e. medical assistance, food stamps etc..They are trying to find a person who can be finacially responsible as opposed to the state funding another child.

You are a good son,don't ever think you are a terrible person.I am a disabled mom,my son lives with me and helps me also.Is your mom able to do anything for herself?If so,perhaps you have a senior apartment complex in your area she could go to.Disabled people are also eligible for this even if they aren't yet a senior.They pay 1/3 of their income for rent and utilities,not a bad deal.We have a senior complex in my area of Pa,that is where I will be living once my son wants to move out.You get your own apartment,can have a car,just like living anywhere else.Or,if she needs some help,a assisted care facility might be the answer or even a nursing home if she needs alot of help.Although I'm sure you don't want to think of these options for your mom,you have to think about yourself too.I am still able to get around,and my son helps me a great deal,especially financially.But,as a mother,I would never want to be  burden to him,after all,he does have his own life.I hope your mom isn't making you feel guilty and making you think it is your responsibility,because it really isn't.There are options out there.My best advice would be to talk to the agency in your area that deals with aging.They should be listed in the blue pages or government pages in the phone book.Good luck to you.

Definitely the great state of Illinois. You certainly are entitled to a profit but it seems that Illinois law feel that they are related to your grandmother also.

I don't know the specific laws in Illinois, you need to contact an attorney for that, but in most states both parents have to sign away their rights to the minor child.  You don't state whether your mother is living or not.  So we will assume she is not for the sake of the discussion.  You would need to go before a judge requesting to be made the guardian of the child.  The court will look at all the circumstances and determine if you are suitable to be the guardian.  If found to be acceptable you will be awarded custody and guardianship papers with all rights and responsibilities as if you were the natural parent.  Again I would advise you to contact an attorney regarding the specifics you would need to perform to obtain guardianship of your brother.

First of all, I am sorry to hear you have lost both your parents.  As far as your question is concerned, Social Security does have a survivor benefit.  Now, since you are under 18 that support would go to your guardian to support you. When I say support you, I am referring to feeding you; clothing you; keeping a roof over your head, ect.  If you are in foster care, it would be payable to the state.  If you are living with another relative, it would go to them.  I don't think you would receive benefits after you turn eight teen, because at that point you are an adult and no longer a dependant.  I would try to find out if your parents had a will just incase they had some sort of life insurance that you may be entitled to or estate.  If you live with relatives, I would suggest you sit down with them and ask some questions.  I would not invest in a lawyer until there is good reason to believe something is being held from you that you are entitled to.  Are you sure that your parents actually owned anything tangible of value?  Did they have a house they owned that was sold after their death before foreclosure?\n\nIf you are in foster care, please plan for your future.  Stay in school and try your best to get good grades.  Visit the high school counselor and find out if there are any scholarship programs for students that are in the custody of the state.  It's going to be a tough road for you.  Hang in there. You can rise above it.\n\nTake care :)

Find out how long you have to be a resident of the state so that you can start paying in state prices. How you boyfriend add your name  to his electric, or some other bill. That by your resident is set-up earlier. Then get the job and wait for that period to end. For the job Temp-services "best way"\nGood Luck!!!

Yes, I would.  Contact your local Housing Authority to look for housing assistance.

OOps sorry let me edit this..\n\nMost important question is - are they LEGALLY your gaurdian?  It sounds like this might be your sister.. or maybe a young aunt.\n\nWhat state are you in?  How old are you?  It depends on how your caregiver will react.  I did the same thing when I was 17 and my parents freaked and were able to take me back.  I spent a few days in Juvi.. but other than that nothing terrible will happen.  If you are 17, I suggest talking to your parents about this and seeing if they would let you.  Does your friends family want you to move there?  Have them talk to your caregiver.  If you are any younger, either wait or have the family talk to your caregiver..  I totally understand where you are coming from, sometimes your home can just be toxic, especially if your parents are going through a divorce, or some issues of their own.. I've been moved out for 2 years now, and even when I come to visit, it just sucks my soul dry.. Some people and places are just so bad for you.  Talk to them .. really.  OR just go ahead and do it, but know this - they will be able to find you - and they will force you to come back - BUT after that happens, they will be open for dialog with you - you will be able to tell them how damaging their home is to you - and they will be able to take you seriously.. This is what happened to me- They never listened until after I ran away.. Then they let me finish my high school degree online and let me move out when I needed to.\n\nTo help you any further, I would need to know your age and your state.\n\nAnd like the other person mentioned, if you are working and making some of your own money, you might be able to get emancipated. \n\nChoices Other Than Emancipation\n\nEmancipation is only one of several alternatives available to you if you feel you cannot live with your caregiver.  You may want to consider other options such as:\n\nfamily counseling or mediation service between you and your parents; \nliving with another responsible adult (aunt, uncle, grandparent, or family friend); \nseeking assistance from public and private agencies; \nan informal agreement with your caregiver allowing you to live outside your home. \n\n\nMy final advice to you is this - family counseling - if nothing else works - this will.  The other person there can help you communicate effectively with your caregiver - and don't assume they will only be on your caregivers side either.  Present your case to them, and unless you have no reason for wanting to move out, they will support you and help you work out a solution with your family..\n\nGood luck, ok?  Feel free to personally email me if you need any personal or legal advice..  Bj_Osterhout@yahoo.com

I know that in NY you can. Call your local dept of social services, they can probably answer that for you.
