Public Authority Services Enrollment assists In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Independent Care Providers (IPs) to become eligible to receive payment for services provided to IHSS consumers.
To begin receiving pay for providing IHSS to a consumer, each IP must:
- Visit the enrollment website to begin the process, complete provider enrollment forms and watch the state IHSS orientation videos. This process can be done on any computer, tablet or smart phone by visiting pascc.org/enrollment.
- Attend a mandatory Public Authority Group Orientation meeting, where an Enrollment Specialist will present important information about IHSS and Public Authority Services, including tips for receiving timesheets, provider benefits and free training classes.
- Meet with an Enrollment Specialist for a short one-on-one individual appointment; provide a valid U.S. government ID and original Social Security card. The Enrollment Specialist will assist the IP to sign their provider forms and answer any questions.
- Get fingerprinted at an authorized Live-Scan location in order to clear a Department of Justice criminal background check.
If you are hiring an IP who is new to IHSS, the individual will need to complete all of the above steps in order to become an approved IP.
Public Authority Enrollment Specialists are available to help: (408) 350-3252.
