You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Free to read, “May need a subscription” and “Archived copy”: what they mean

Whether an article is free to read is a guess, not a test of your access. Each item is one of three:

  • No label: free to read (303 of 347). The publisher’s page marks it free, or the outlet publishes free to read: Medical Xpress, ScienceDaily, NIH (incl. NIA and PMC), Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's News Today, NPR, Alzheimer's Disease International, or a .gov site.
  • May need a subscription (11 of 347). The publisher’s own page marks the article as not free to read, or — when the page says nothing — the outlet sells subscriptions: The New York Times, STAT, Scientific American, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Wired, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The Times, The Telegraph, New Scientist, Endpoints News, Science. Each badge says which.
  • “Free to read? Not known” (33 of 347). The outlet is on neither list and its page said nothing. We do not call these paywalled.

Archived copy links go to a copy the Internet Archive (web.archive.org) saved, dated the day it was saved. We show one only where the Internet Archive reported a working saved copy when we checked; an archived copy of a subscription article sometimes shows only its opening. 265 of 347 items have one.

Nebraska Caregiver Tax Credit Takes Effect for 2025, With Higher $3,000 Cap for Dementia Caregivers

Nebraska Department of Revenue Policy

Nebraska's Caregiver Tax Credit Act (LB 937, enacted 2024) is operative for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2025. The Department of Revenue began accepting applications in February 2025. The nonrefundable credit equals 50% of eligible caregiving expenditures up to $2,000, or $3,000 if the family member is a veteran or is diagnosed with dementia. Caregivers must have federal AGI under $100,000 (joint) or $50,000 (other filers); the family member must live in a private residence and need help with at least two activities of daily living. Eligible expenses include home modifications, equipment, respite care and adult day care. Credits are capped statewide at $1.5 million for state fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, then $2.5 million.

Why it matters: Nebraska's Caregiver Tax Credit provides nonrefundable tax relief of up to $3,000 to assist eligible family caregivers with caregiving expenses.
