Annotations Notes Chapter Notes Case Notes Adult daughter of mother who was disabled as a result of Alzheimer's disease was entitled to the benefit of the "caregiver child" exemption because she established that she cared for her mother on a continuous basis despite the fact that the daughter was employed full-time.

AGEN LEXIS 1179, Final Administrative Determination (September 27, 2016).
