IHSS Glossary
Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP)
What it means in California's IHSS program, in plain English.
← All glossary terms
The official regulatory text that governs the entire IHSS program — eligibility rules, the Functional Index ranking system, the Hourly Task Guidelines, Protective Supervision criteria, appeals, and more. When a social worker makes a determination about your case, the MPP is the underlying regulation behind it.
Division 30-700 of the MPP covers IHSS specifically; the needs-assessment and hours-authorization rules generally fall under sections 30-756 through 30-763.
