The draft includes provisions for paid caregivers but imposes limitations on struggling families, particularly those with a child with severe disabilities. For instance, caregivers are restricted to working 40 hours per week, which can be insufficient to meet the extensive care needs of the child.
The requirement that the Employer of Record (EOR) must be a nonrelative residing within 50 miles burdens already overwhelmed families. This restriction makes finding a qualified EOR who meets the criteria incredibly challenging, limiting the options available for families seeking appropriate care for their children.
