Starting in February CDWA has agreed to pay caregivers several significant bonuses over the next 7 months, in recognition of the hard work caregivers do. More experienced caregivers will get higher bonuses, and caregivers with the most experience could get up to $1,100 in total PLUS any bonuses they get from referring new employees.


All of the bonuses will be applied automatically by CDWA and are based on our Career Cumulative Hours (CCH). To check your CCH, login to the Direct My Care portal https://directmycare.com/#/login


Caregivers that logged hours with CDWA October 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023, and continue to be employed when the bonuses are sent, will get a bonus by end of February 2024 based on their December 31, 2023 CCH (Career Cumulative Hours) balance.

  • 500 to 2000 CCH: $125
  • 2000.25 to 10000 CCH: $300
  • 10000.25 to 24000 CCH: $400
  • 24000.25 or more CCH: $500


Caregivers who log hours with CDWA between March 1, 2024 – June 30, 2024, and continue to be employed when the bonuses are sent, will get a bonus by end of August 2024. That bonus will be based on your June 30, 2024 CCH balance.

  • 500 to 2000 CCH: $125
  • 2000.25 to 10000 CCH: $350
  • 10000.25 to 24000 CCH: $475
  • 24000.25 or more CCH: $600


Caregivers who refer a new caregiver that CDWA hires on or after February 1, 2024, and before July 1, 2024, will receive $200 when the caregiver works 500 CCH.
New caregivers hired on or after February 1, 2024, and before July 1, 2024, will receive a $200 recruitment bonus once working 500 CCH.


These bonuses are further proof that when we stand together, we win the pay and respect we deserve. Caregivers are looking toward a stronger and more powerful future. Visit our website to find out how you can get more involved! https://seiu775.org/get-involved/
