For paid care workers, the hourly pay rate is set and published by the Administration. The pay rate for a day of respite care is 10 times the hourly rate paid. When more than one individual with a developmental or functional disability requires care in the same household, payments and fees are 1/2 the set rate for each additional individual with a disability in the household, in addition to the full rate for the initial individual. The income of the consumer determines the amount of the subsidy the consumer may receive. A sliding fee scale based on family income is established and published by the Administration.
