Review IHSS hours
If you want to request more IHSS hours because your child's needs have changed, follow this step-by-step guidance to help you understand the categories for IHSS hours and prepare for reassessment.
Why
IHSS hours are determined based on a child's care needs when compared to a typically developing child of the same age, so your child may qualify for more hours if their care needs have recently changed or if their peers are expected to require less care as they age.
Guides
Curated by our research team, signed off by experts and parents alike, guides walk you through the entire process, step-by-step. They cover common pitfalls and how to navigate complexities in order to accomplish your goal.
Each year your child receives In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), they will be reassessed to determine the types of services needed and the number of hours authorized for each service. Use this guide to prepare for the in-home portion of the reassessment.
This guide will help you understand how to read your Notice of Action (NOA) from IHSS and se the hours that your child has been approved for.
