In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

IHSS is a California government program that provides financial support for in-home caretakers of impaired elders, persons with disabilities, and children with developmental disabilities including ASD. While a variety of benefits are available, the most important for families of children with special needs is “Protective Supervision.” When you are approved for Protective Supervision, you will receive an hourly wage to stay home and care for your child.

At American Advocacy Group, we understand that navigating the IHSS application and approval process can be overwhelming. Denials are common, and many families struggle to prove their child’s eligibility for Protective Supervision. Our team specializes in advocating for your rights, gathering the necessary documentation, and building a strong case to maximize your IHSS benefits.

Applying for IHSS

The IHSS application process generally involves a written application, an in-home interview with a social worker, and medical records. Once approved, there will be ongoing assessment. AAG can assist at every stage of this process whether you are a first time applicant or your application was denied.

For first time applicants:

• AAG will help you determine if you are eligible
• We will create a plan with you to make sure you get all the benefits you deserve
• AAG can perform all necessary research and complete all paperwork
• We will pull medical records for you
• We will assist you through the interview and every step of the way

Every child with special needs deserves full supervised care, and no family should be turned away. Contact AAG today for a free consultation to determine your best approach.
