Can a spouse get paid to be a caregiver in New Hampshire?

Short answer

Generally no

No. New Hampshire's Choices for Independence rule defines the legally responsible relative as the participant's spouse and doesn't cover services provided by a legally responsible relative (He-E 801.02, He-E 801.12).
