Dear Fellow IHSS Providers,
We have fought long and hard to improve the IHSS payroll system, and we are thrilled that online timesheets are finally here. This is a huge win for IHSS providers – we can now file our timesheets from our computers or phones, track our payment status, and get paid faster.
Throughout August, September, and October, the program is rolling out in phases starting with Butte, Inyo, Kern, Mendocino, Napa, Placer, San Diego, San Francisco, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Trinity Counties on August 7th.
The pilot program, which launched in July in Riverside, Yolo, and Sacramento Counties, was a huge success.

Thank you, caregivers!
