Please be careful: Providers and Recipients must follow the IHSS program rules. Law enforcement is watching.
Recently, another case of IHSS fraud was prosecuted in Santa Clara County. The individual involved now has a criminal conviction, is barred from the IHSS program, and has incurred other court payments and penalties.
The rules of the IHSS program are clearly stated in the orientation documents signed by In-Home Care Providers. Please ask any questions before signing your documents, and be aware of the rules as they apply to you.
Protect the IHSS program: if you know about suspicious activities involving IHSS providers or consumers, please report them on the “Stop Medi-Cal Fraud” hotline: (800) 822-6222.
