Medi-cal coverage is needed for a participant to qualify for IHSS. A person also needs to be in need of assistance with activities of daily living, such as they need help with walking, bathing, meal prep, laundry, dressing, bowel/bladder care, cleaning their home, etc. The Medi-cal Eligibility worker will determine if the client's medi-cal will be free or will the client have a share of cost. The share of cost is the monthly cost that the client will be charged before Medi-cal picks up the difference. Each person case will be different. It never hurts to apply for medi-cal or IHSS if you need help.
It varies to the individual's situation. You just have to try to apply.
