IHSS State Hearing for Additional Hours as a Live-In Relative Provider

Has anyone successfully received additional IHSS hours through a State Hearing after a social worker denied the request?

I am a live-in parent and relative provider. I am appealing for:

  • Medical accompaniment
  • Meal preparation/cleanup
  • Shopping and errands

What evidence helped you win? Medical letters, safety concerns, or proof of functional limitations?

Thank you.

Do IHSS Live-In Parent Providers Earn Social Security Credits?

California IHSS live-in parent provider here. My pay stubs show $0 Social Security (FICA) and $0 Medicare taxes. Does this mean I'm not earning Social Security credits for retirement? Is there any way to opt in or build credits while continuing to work as an IHSS live-in provider for my child? Thanks!

IHSS Live-In Income and CalFresh/CalWORKs in California?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to better understand California rules regarding IHSS live-in provider income.

If a parent is an IHSS live-in provider for their child and lives in the same household, is that IHSS income considered countable income for:

  • CalFresh?
  • CalWORKs?

I’ve seen conflicting information online. Some sources say live-in IHSS income may be excluded for certain programs (like Medi-Cal), but county workers told me it is still counted for CalFresh/CalWORKs.

Has anyone here had personal experience with this or successfully appealed a case involving IHSS live-in income?

Thank you very much.
