New Rules for CA IHSS Providers-Act Before 7/1/10 - Handouts

IHSS has new rules for IHSS providers, who should take action before July 1, 2010. This handout for laypersons is useful for all consumers and providers. Translation into Spanish, Chinese and Russian are available. Translations into Armenian, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog are in progress.

Did you know that new requirements that will apply to all California In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers effective July 1, 2010?   Current IHSS recipients & providers can get an extension of that deadline until December 31, 2010, if they meet just one of the four new requirements.  About 20,000 current IHSS providers statewide have not done so.  If they don’t meet at least one requirement before July 1, they will be treated as a “new” provider and will have to do all four steps before they can get paid (a process that can take a long time).  Please do whatever you can to ensure that IHSS consumers do not experience a disruption in service. Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Armenian, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog translations will be available soon.
