The process for obtaining IHSS benefits is straightforward and can usually be done without an advocate. We encourage all parents to go through the application/assessment process on their own.
Advise on When to Use An Advocate
- Parents & caregivers are encouraged to go through the application/assessment process on their own.
- Only use an advocate if it puts you in a place that is better than where you are currently at.
- Only seek advocate help if you are denied with a Notice of Action (NOA).
- Not everyone needs to use an advocate. All cases are unique and some parents’ cases are more challenging than others.
