A voucher that helps unpaid family caregivers in Washington pay for short breaks from caregiving. The voucher is an amount of money, not a paper document: you choose a registered respite provider organization, the provider bills the program, and the program pays up to the voucher amount. The program page gives the amount as up to $1,000 per household per year. It cannot be used to pay family members, friends or independent providers. Vouchers are limited.
