If could leave no starts I would…. I had an appointment at 9am and they made me wait outside for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes they sent the security guard to tell me I need to reschedule because they don’t take anyone 5 mins after appointments.the security guard then told me I could come back at 10:30 which I did. But the same thing happened. It’s ridiculous, they’re just lazy.

Questions & Answers

Can I get paid to be a 24 hr health care provider for my brother who is undergoing chemo and radiation?

Roman Rooter | Sep 12, 2018
Kern County Ihss Public Authority | Sep 11, 2020

The IHSS program does not cover a 24 hr need. If you are wanting to place an IHSS referral for your brother, you will need to call 661-868-1003. If you are wanting to become an IHSS provider, you will need to go to our website Kern County Aging & Adult Services and then follow the prompts to become an IHSS provider.

How do i become a caregiver for my grandmother

Cynthia Ybarra | Sep 12, 2018
Barbara Macias | Sep 12, 2018

You have to call IHSS and set up for an orientation. That's where you start.

Can you start providing care for a recipient prior to orientation date, and do you have to get an appt to attend orientation?

Donna Gray | Sep 11, 2020
Kristina Jacober | Sep 11, 2020

Yes you can but you will only be cleared the time that they are approved for..and yes you have to schedule an appointment for an orientation and usually they're pretty busy....

A case number is a unique number assigned to all In-Home Support Services applicants and recipients. Case numbers are located on the upper righthand side of all Notices of Actions (NOA). The client receives a NOA each time there is a change in their case.

From social worker

Can I appeal a decision that IHSS has made that I don't agree with, where and how do I start the process ?

Jeanine Hunt | Aug 12, 2022
Kern County Ihss Public Authority | Aug 12, 2022

If this is in regards to IHSS case hours, the client or their authorized representative can request a hearing. On the back of the client's Notice of Action, there is a section that can be completed to request a state hearing. There is also a phone number listed for the client to call if they prefer that method. If the client cannot locate their paperwork, they can reach out to their assigned social worker. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yes (but with reservations). As long as it remains in effect as an IHSS provider with the state of California.

When is the next orientation to be a provider for IHSS ? Do you have to already have a recipient to become a provider and/or placed on provider list?

Donna Gray | Sep 11, 2020
Lisa Rodriguez | Sep 11, 2020

Look online and no you don't have to have a recipient to become a provider. You can put your name a list

Anybody knows what happens if you haven't received your W2 form and it was requested for a reprint and you still haven't got it what do we do next.

Christine Momoa | Sep 11, 2020
Kern County Ihss Public Authority | Sep 11, 2020

Duplicate W-2 forms were not accepted by the state until February 24, 2020. It takes several weeks for the request to be processed and the duplicate form mailed. It is too early for any duplicates to have been processed. You should receive the duplicate within the next couple of weeks.

Aging & Adult Services | Sep 12, 2019

Thank you for your interest in becoming a registry provider. Unfortunately, we do not have our registry application online. You will need to call 661-868-0987 and request a registry application. You must already be an approved IHSS provider and you cannot have a Tier I/II conviction.
