What is the timeframe for IHSS to respond after I apply for protective supervision?

Usually, you’ll get the Notice of Action within a few weeks of the home visit. Sometimes, you'll get a Notice of Action and there won't be anything about protective supervision, and they'll say that another Notice of Action will be coming with protective supervision. Give them maybe another week, and then appeal if there's no answer about the protective supervision. Sometimes it does happen that they give you the first Notice of Action and then there's another one addressing protective supervision, but don't wait much longer than a week because you want to make sure that you have time to appeal.
