Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Is IHSS based off income?

While IHSS itself is not directly impacted by income, other programs and services related to disability and aging may have income-based eligibility criteria.

What disqualifies you from IHSS in California?

1) Convicted of a crime involving fraud or abuse of the Medi-Cal Program, or 2) Suspended from the federal Medicare program for any reason. If your name is on the SI Providers list, you will not be able to be an IHSS provider.

How long does it take to get IHSS approved?

Of those who do get approved, it can take anywhere from two weeks to several months to finally receive benefits. This is due to the meticulous amount of paperwork involved, as well as the process of the case worker assessment, background check, and other procedures.

Is it hard to get approved for IHSS?

The program is designed to help individuals stay in their homes and avoid institutionalization. However, it is hard to get approved for IHSS, and sometimes individuals may be denied services. If you have been denied IHSS in California, there are steps you can take to appeal the decision.

Can you get IHSS and still work?

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) provide people with low income who are blind, disabled, or 65 years old or older with personal assistance and in-home services so they can safely stay in their homes or continue working.

What is the maximum income to qualify for IHSS?

The applicant income limit is equivalent to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). While this figure increases annually in January, for California Medicaid, the income limits increase each April. Effective 4/1/24, the monthly income limit for the IHSS program for a single applicant is $1,732.

Can you get IHSS and Social Security?

Eligibility is assessed with an evaluation regarding whether your child needs the services it provides to stay safely in your own home as an alternative to out-of-home placement. Can you keep your SSI and still apply for IHSS? Yes.
