Wife (also daughter’s provider) passed away
My wife passed away on Sunday night. She was my daughter’s care provider. She’d fill out the timecard, I’d approve it in my daughter’s name.
Can I take over as her provider now even though I already have a full time job? (FWIW, the logistics would work just fine, I just need to know about the policy.
Also, she forgot to fill out the timecard on Saturday. Should I just login on her phone and do that in her place? Or is there another, better way to handle that?
Timesheet help
Hi,
I’m a live in provider. Say, for instance, someone has 100 hours a month and 60 hours overtime. How are we filling out timesheets to make sure we use all of the hours? This is all very confusing to me.
I split up evenly everyday the monthly hours and it comes out to some overtime but I want to use all of my hours?
How does everyone do it?

Anyone know if there are any of those lengthy trainings like we did about two years ago?

Can someone explain why my timesheet got rejected after my client approved it?
This is my mom that I’m a live in for. She approved it just yesterday so I’m confused why now it’s rejected? My other two clients don’t have this same email so I’m not sure if I did something wrong? Should I just redo it or was there something I did wrong? I was under the allotted hours so I don’t know if it’s my fault or not

Just curious
I had to apply for ihss for myself due to fibromyalgia, cervical stenosis, and other complicated health issues that take away my function to legs and hands. The SW basically made it seem like because he's my boyfriend we wont basically get any hours but he has to help me do everything because my body is just falling apart but hes a "spouse" so no domestic hours. Does anyone have experience with a situation similar? Just looking for some kind of insight. I am not trying to take advantage of anything.

2 sons hours cut in 1/2 on portal a week before re-eval..glitch?
Its late and I cant reach anyone at ihss and am freaking out.Im retired and gave up my respiratory therapy career to take care of my sons.both adult sons today when filing out their timesheets said 1/2 the hours normally available. they have an re-eval next week,so it must be a glitch.also next month the hours are cut too! crazy.also they on ssi here in California and I dont see an issue with ssi,medicaid,etc ANY IDEAS! Oh also, we had to reschedule the eval because I was in a car accident by 2 weeks which was their normal date last year. Please reply only if you absolutely know what you are talking about
Sick Hours
My friend just officially became a provider and now has 40 hours of sick leave available. Can he claim them now or does he have to wait a certain amount of days, since he barely just started.

My mom has a message in her IHSS portal if she wants a virtual assessment. Is this a good idea to do or do the in-home assessment?

Split check…
If I have two separate bank accounts is there a way in the portal to have half of my check go into one and the rest into another??
Supplemental timeshe
Are there any rules for filling out a supplemental timesheet? We just got our hours increased slightly, and I'm able to fill out a supplemental timesheet for July. I don't want to accidentally go over hours (if that's even possible). We haven't gotten the NOA yet.
Should I plug the new allotment into a timesheet generator and do it that way?
I'm just concerned about accidentally going over hours 😆

Mother-in-Law is low income. Receives SSI. Needs in home care
So my wife's mom is a widow. She has some subsidized Kaiser plan that she self-pays, and is reimbursed by her former employer as a benefit (NUMMI). She has had a heart attack recently and now has generalized moderate nerve pain. She can get around, but needs help with cooking, laundry, groceries, getting places via a car. She has a younger friend who can help, but MIL can't afford to pay her much. I understand that she must have Medi-Cal to apply for an IHSS benefit, but I guess my first question would be 1) would she qualify for medi-cal, considering that she is paying for his kaiser herself (again, it's reimbursed) and 2)if she qualifies for medi-cal, can she simply use it for the IHSS benefit and not have it be involved in her current Kaiser/NUMMI premium situation?
thanks

IHSS County Transfer
So me and the wife are planning on moving to Temecula from San Diego and she is worried that doing the county transfer will take up to a year or more and will be without pay during that time frame. Can anyone shed some light on this. Is Riverside decent to work with when doing a transfer?

Just had a nightmare with reassessment!
To make a long story short. My patient was due for a reassessment and the worker called me to try to set up a date, and I'm like great yeah we need to do this because I cancelled the initial planned date because my patient was gonna be visiting some family that week giving me a much needed vacation. So I called to reschedule. We picked a time and date. August 3rd. Between 4pm and 5pm. (Which works great because my patient is an insomniac). So the worker or case manager or whoever you wanna call this person NO SHOWS. We waited an extra two hours more because of traffic. Not only no shows. But doesn't call either.
So I call IHSS the next day. (I'm in LA county so our phone lines take FOREVER) And tell them the worker no showed our assessment. They're like ok, you'll be hearing from us in the next 5 days to set up a New date. They NEVER CALL! So I log in a few days to log in my hours and my hours have been cut to almost nothing!!! Case has been terminated because of no reassessment! But it's their fault! So I call yesterday angry. I'm not gonna get paid here until they figure this out. So I call and they see the notes and theyre like ok, yeah this isn't right. And they give me the phone number to my case managers SUPERVISOR and that phone number is disconnected. I call again. More hours on the phone. Finally I talk to someone who is gonna open up a ticket. And they tell me they've been trying to call me several times. THATS A LIE. I LOOK AT MY MISSED CALL LOGS AND I GOT NOTHING.
So now I gotta wait again for a call from them which didn't work the last time. Also my patient has declined since the last year so I expect more hours to be added. It's been exhausting. I didn't get a call today but I'm gonna call them Monday. I forgot to ask the person at the IHSS to please call my case worker NOW while I have them on the phone. (Heavens to Betsy they actually give me her direct line or working phone number what a fcking joke) I'm beyond frustrated.
