IHSS Advocacy for California Families

Apply for IHSS. Appeal your IHSS Denial. Get Paid to Care for Your Child.

If you're applying for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) or appealing an IHSS denial—especially for Protective Supervision—you don’t have to do it alone. At American Advocacy Group, we help families across California understand their rights, file strong applications, and win appeals.

First Time Applying for IHSS? We Can Help.

The IHSS process can be confusing, frustrating, and full of paperwork. We’re here to guide you through it—step by step.

We’ll help you:

• Increase your chances of approval for IHSS the first time
• Understand what benefits your child may qualify for
• Gather the required medical and behavioral documentation
• Fill out and submit your IHSS application correctly
• Prepare for the county IHSS home visit
• Advocate for the right number of IHSS hours

Already Denied IHSS or Protective Supervision? We’ll Fight for You.

Thousands of deserving families are wrongly denied IHSS every year—especially for Protective Supervision, which provides paid caregiving for children with disabilities who cannot be left alone.

We specialize in appeals and can:

• Review your IHSS denial letter and explain next steps
• Prepare your IHSS hearing paperwork
• Gather additional evidence and doctor’s statements
• Represent you during the IHSS appeal or IHSS hearing
• Fight for your child’s safety—and your right to care for them

Don’t wait. You only have 90 days to appeal after a denial.
