Tips on Selecting the Right Provider
Some consumers have income that is too high to qualify for IHSS or Medi-Cal. If they meet other eligibility requirements, they may still be eligible for both programs if they agree to a monthly Medi-Cal share of cost (SOC). The SOC is the amount that the individual will have to pay for services out of their own pocket, similar to a monthly deductible. This money can be paid to the IHSS provider, the consumer's doctor, at the pharmacy, or can be applied to payments for any other Medi-Cal approved expenses

Understanding IHSS Provider Benefits
As an employer, it is important for IHSS consumers to understand the benefits available to their providers. In addition to the PASC-SEIU Health Benefits Plan, IHSS providers receive many state benefits such as Social Security, State Disability Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, Workers Compensation, and Earned Income Credit.
