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.

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.
Appealing a Notice of Action in Glenn County
If Glenn County reduces, denies, or terminates your IHSS hours, the appeal process is governed by state regulation — the same 90-day deadline applies regardless of county:
You have 90 days from the date on your Notice of Action to request a State Hearing
Call the State Hearings Division at 1-800-952-5253 to request a hearing
Or mail a written request to: California Department of Social Services, State Hearings Division, P.O. Box 944243, Sacramento, CA 94244
Requesting your hearing before the Notice of Action's effective date preserves Aid Paid Pending — meaning you keep your current hours while the appeal is decided
