CDSS has issued instructions implementing AB 1797 about confirmation numbers for IHSS applications. AB 1797 added Welfare and Institutions Code Section 12301.16 that requires counties to provide HIS applicants with a confirmation number upon receipt of an IHSS application.
CDSS will use the case number that is randomly assigned by the CMIPS II computer system as the confirmation number. CDSS developed a notice called “Notice of Application Confirmation Number (SOC 2300)” for IHSS agencies to use when providing notification of the application confirmation number. Counties must provide the confirmation number either verbally before the end of a telephone call during which an IHSS application is taken or in writing when the application is entered into CMIPS II.
