Questions

A few good questions.

Read every question and answer

Which state edition should I choose?

Choose the state where your loved one receives care. If you coordinate care from another state, start with the care recipient's state, not your own. Moving does not automatically transfer eligibility or benefits.

What does a $199 edition include?

A digital PDF toolkit with state-specific guidance, a pathway finder, forms, checklists, scripts, filled-in examples, hiring and payroll basics, caregiver training material and backup care planning. Personal support and payroll provider service are separate purchases.

Will the kit mean I can get paid as a caregiver?

Not by itself. Eligibility, which relatives may be hired, approved hours and pay arrangements depend on the program and the family's circumstances. Confirm the rules with the relevant program before beginning paid work.

Do I need to buy a kit to apply for a public program?

No. The kit and support services are optional. You can contact public programs and their designated support providers directly. Luman Group does not sell faster approval, priority on a waitlist, or access to government benefits.

Does Concierge process payroll or provide respite care?

Concierge helps prepare payroll information and resolve administrative questions. Your payroll provider or required fiscal intermediary processes payments and its contracted tax filings. Respite support means resource research and backup care planning, not providing a caregiver or promising coverage.

How do I get my kit?

After you pay, we email you a download link from kit@luman-group.com. Save the kit to your computer or phone right away. Lost your link? Email kit@luman-group.com from the address you used to buy, and we will send a new one. Free updates for 12 months go to that same email.

What is the refund policy?

The Family Caregiver Hire-in-a-Box has a 30-day money-back policy. Email kit@luman-group.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
