Parent Question

Where do I find my IHSS provider number?

Published: Feb. 26, 2025

If you become your child's parent provider for IHSS, you'll receive a provider number used to track your timesheet. It's possible that the IHSS worker will provide you your IHSS provider number. However, most people get it in the mail after they take the orientation and the Live Scan.
