CHICOPEE, MA (WGGB/WSHM) – Thousands of personal care attendants (PCAs) will no longer be subject to state or federal income taxes following an announcement Monday by Governor Maura Healey.
The move is projected to save them $5,000 or more per year.
PCAs are health care professionals who help people with disabilities keep their independence by aiding with activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing.
Approximately 18,000 PCAs through the MassHealth PCA program are expected to qualify.
