Overview
Glenn County's IHSS program is administered by the Health and Human Services Agency, with the Public Authority maintaining a registry service serving the Willows and Orland areas — about 20% of all county providers currently participate in the registry.
The Public Authority does not employ providers directly; the recipient remains the employer responsible for hiring, directing, and if necessary terminating their provider, with the Public Authority facilitating registry matches and enrollment.
Clara has Glenn County’s contacts and current wage, and can explain how hours are decided.

The application form (SOC 295)
The state's written application is form SOC 295, Application for In-Home Supportive Services. You can fill it in ahead of time.
Open the SOC 295 form (PDF)Opens on the CDSS website. The form goes to Glenn County, not to the state, so call the number above to ask where to mail, fax or bring it.
Once you apply, the county schedules an in-home assessment. A social worker scores how much help you need with each task, and those scores decide your monthly hours — see how the Functional Index ranks work. If your hours are later denied or reduced, you have appeal rights with deadlines: how to appeal a Notice of Action. Becoming a paid provider is a separate process — start with the Provider Hub.

Local Notes & Quirks
- Fingerprinting since 2004: Glenn County's Public Authority has fingerprinted registry applicants since September 2004, with criminal history explicitly disqualifying candidates from the registry.
- Named staff contacts: Glenn County publishes direct phone numbers for individual Registry Specialists and Social Workers rather than routing everything through a single general line — worth asking for a specific staff contact once you know who's handling your case.
- Workers' comp routed through your social worker: if a provider is injured on the job, they contact the recipient's assigned IHSS social worker, who submits the claim information to the county's workers' compensation administrator.
