The In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program helps pay for services provided to low-income elderly, blind or disabled individuals, including children, so that they can remain safely in their own home. IHSS is considered an alternative to out-of-home care, such as nursing homes or board and care facilities. Some of the services that can be authorized through IHSS include: housecleaning, meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping, personal care services (such as bowel and bladder care, bathing, grooming and paramedical services), accompaniment to medical appointments, and protective supervision for the mentally impaired.
On March 27, 2013, the State and plaintiffs (Oster and Dominguez) reached settlement terms on three IHSS lawsuits ($9.50 State cap on wages, $0.60 State cap on health benefits, and 20% trigger cuts). The 63-page IHSS Settlement Agreement, one-page flyer, and four-page Notice provide detailed information on the terms of the IHSS Settlement Agreement.
