Thanks. I am not eligible for any government jobs in general. But I understand your point of choosing a stable job.

My partner is not eligible for SSI, disability or Medicaid because of immigration status. I will check about Affordable Care Act, but currently we are on employer provided health insurance plan.

I will go through the link you have posed and check the state resources too. Have not heard of personal care assistants before, but will find out more.

My employer is supportive too, I was able to take long leave and also last minute days-offs. I will think though this and thanks!

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I found value in every point you have mentioned.

One option we thought of was to relocate to our home country near our family but did not because of good treatment available in US. But this is certainly something to think though for future.
