IHSS Protective Supervision Notice of Action messages

CDSS has issued instructions about Notices of Action for determinations about In Home Supportive Services Protective Supervision.  CDSS developed Notice of Action messages to provide additional explanation for a Protective Supervision determination.  The purpose of the messages is to increase understanding of the basis for a Protective Supervision determination.  County social workers can select the message to be included in the Notice of Action.

The messages include explanations for no risk of injury, hazard or accident; individual is self-directing, not mentally impaired or mentally ill; need is caused by a medical condition and supervision required is medical; no eligibility for anticipation of a medical emergency; no eligibility to prevent or control aggressive or anti-social behavior; no eligibility to guard against deliberate self-harm; and no need for 24 hour supervision.  (ACL 17-110, October 31, 2017.)
