ACL 10-61: Implementation Of AB 1612: Service Reductions In IHSS (12/17/10)

AB 1612 added WIC Section 12301.06, requiring CDSS to reduce all IHSS recipients’ total authorized hours by 3.6%,  effective February 1, 2011.  NOAs are to be mailed at least 30 days prior to the reduction. The NOAS are in English, Spanish, Armenian and Chinese, and counties must provide translations for any other language hitting the (5%) threshold. Recipients choose how this reduction is applied toward their specific authorized services. The 3.6 percent reduction will first be applied to any documented unmet need (excluding protective supervision). This cut expires July 1, 2012. [Download]
