Live ins work more hours than they are paid.  They are making $9 an hour with no benefits.  Live ins are available 24 hours/day, but do not receive 24 hour payment.  Live ins provide a home for those they care for.  Who is being ripped off here?  The live ins or the state?  The state doesn't even have responsibility of being employer of record.  Evv tracking of live ins is a control tactic with not substantial statistics to enact it (controlling when not the employer is also borderline illegal).  What if all populations were treated in such a stereotypical manner over a few bad apples?  NCIL (National Council on Independent Living) has statistics stating the fraud level in the Consumer Directed program is very low.  Why is the state stereotyping everyone in the program and not paying attention to who is REALLY being ripped off.
