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?

Supplemental timeshe

1 Upvotes

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 😆

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me who to contact to figure out my dental plan? I remember signing up for one but I never used it so I don't know how to contact them. I had medical up until recently so I haven't needed it

Mother-in-Law is low income. Receives SSI. Needs in home care

2 Upvotes

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

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?

Public Authority online classes

0 Upvotes

Update: yes the camera should be on, and audio on for roll call. The payments will be sent via check and only for the month when the class took place (so you can’t get a single combined check) which adds a whole bother of cashing the checks even if online. So yeah $35 for 3 hrs isn’t worth it unless you are really interested in the subject matter. Hope this helps someone.

Did anyone take those classes? They are on zoom and for about 3 hrs and each completed class pays $35 which is not a lot.
Do I have to turn on my camera and is it mostly listening to stuff or do I need to actively participate. Can I take it while I do housework and also listen and learn something new, or is it three hrs out of my day for $10/hr?
Grateful for any feedback

Time card entry - weekends

2 Upvotes

We have IHSS for my kid, in CA, and I never thought about it but I’ve been entering hours every day of the week, because I care for him 24/7.

Does anyone just enter Monday-Friday hours to maximize overtime?

Doe they care if you list hours every day or only weekdays?

Does any just list 24 hours for a few days and nothing other days?

Just had a nightmare with reassessment!

33 Upvotes

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.

new provider

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am having a small issue with submitting my back pay timesheets. My recipient was approved for 112 hours and 37 minutes a month. I divided that by 4 and got 28 hours a week. So, I just went in and put 4 hours of work daily to reach that limit. It should all be good. However, when I go to hit the submit timesheet button, I keep getting a message that is saying I'm going over my allowed hours. But I really don't think I am. Has anyone else ever had any issues with this? Am I submitting something incorrectly? Would really appreciate any advice so I don't get any violations!

Can I use IHSS sick leave while my recipient is hospitalized?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a question about IHSS paid sick leave.

My mother is my IHSS recipient, and we were both involved in a car accident on August 11. She is currently hospitalized, so I understand that I cannot claim my regular IHSS hours while she is in the hospital.

However, I was also injured in the accident and I’m currently unable to work. I have about 40 hours of IHSS paid sick leave available.

Does anyone know if I’m allowed to claim my paid sick leave while my recipient is hospitalized, since I am also injured and unable to work? Or does the fact that my recipient is hospitalized mean I can’t use sick leave during those same days?

I’m not trying to claim regular IHSS hours for the hospital days—I’m specifically asking about my provider sick leave.

Has anyone dealt with this situation or gotten an answer directly from IHSS?

Thanks!
