In New York, the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) pays caregivers an hourly wage that ranges from $17.55–$21.09, and $26.32–$31.63 for overtime.
However, the exact rate depends on a number of factors, including:
Hours worked: The total salary a caregiver earns depends on how many hours they work.
Experience and qualifications: Caregivers with more experience or advanced qualifications may be eligible for higher pay rates.
Geographic location: The cost of living in a particular area can impact CDPAP salary rates. For example, caregivers in metropolitan areas may receive higher compensation than those in rural areas.
Medicaid reimbursement rates: Medicaid reimbursement rates can also impact CDPAP payment rates.
To apply for or enroll in CDPAP, you must go through your Local Department of Social Services or Medicaid plan.
