What’s this I’ve been hearing about a Personal Care IHSS Quality Assurance Revenue Fund?
The Personal Care IHSS Quality Assurance Revenue Fund will enable the IHSS Program to take advantage of federal funding — just like hospitals and nursing homes. We developed this fund as a way for the state to obtain more federal matching funds for home care — without taking any money out of the provider’s pocket. It is a complicated process, but essentially, your paystub may show a deposit and a deduction in the same amount which will not affect your actual pay and is used solely for accounting purposes. The state government ends up with up to $190 million in new matching funds – and you will NEVER see a reduction in your paycheck as a result.
