How can a parent get paid for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)?

If you can successfully show that your child needs more supervision than a typically developing child of the same age, you cannot be denied protective supervision. Undivided's Public Benefits Specialist, Lisa Concoff Kronbeck, explains that if you are a parent provider, you should still get paid on evenings and weekends, even if another full-time working parent is home.

Note that IHSS made updates to who qualifies to be a parent provider as of February 2024. You can find the details in our article about IHSS providers.
