The IHSS program is comprised of four programs which will be discussed later. People who qualify for protective supervision are eligible for the maximum number of monthly hours, either 195 or 283. However, the maximum number of hours needed depends on which of the four programs apply and whether a recipient is considered “severely impaired.” The total number of hours authorized (i.e. hours a recipient can get) may also be adjusted due to the receipt of alternative resources. IHSS recipients should refer to their Notice of Action to see which IHSS program they have been placed in and how their hours were determined by the county.

IHSS is provided to those who otherwise might be placed in an out-of-home care facility but who can safely remain in their own home if IHSS services are received. IHSS advocates’ mission is to provide families with children diagnosed with developmental disabilities, such as ASD, with the tools and services to obtain and maintain Protection Supervision.  We provide assistance and representation throughout the application, assessment, reassessment, and administrative hearing processes. Our vision is to see the number of eligible families receiving Protective Supervision increase significantly.
