How the interim share of cost process for the In-Home Supportive Services Residual/Personal Care Services Program/In-Home Supportive Services Plus Waiver (IHSS-R/PCSP/IHSS+) will operate until automation of the Case Management, Information, and Payrolling System (CMIPS) is completed. Recipients will be receiving two notices, one from IHSS and one from Medi-Cal re: their share of cost.

It is anticipated that automation of CMIPS will be completed in late Spring 2006. [Download]
