Overview
Inyo County's IHSS program is administered by Health and Human Services, with provider registry functions handled by Eastern Sierra IHSS — a regional registry operated by the nonprofit Community Service Solutions that also serves neighboring Alpine and Mono counties.
Inyo County spans a vast, sparsely populated stretch of the Eastern Sierra including Bishop, Independence, and Lone Pine — the shared regional registry structure helps concentrate limited administrative resources across this large geographic area.

Local Notes & Quirks
- Shared regional registry: Eastern Sierra IHSS, run by Community Service Solutions, coordinates provider registry services across Alpine, Inyo, and Mono counties jointly — a structure built around this remote region's spread-out communities.
- Structured office hours: the Bishop registry office is open for walk-ins from 8am-noon, with appointment-only service from 1-4:30pm — plan your visit accordingly.
- Vast, remote service area: Inyo County stretches from Bishop to Death Valley, one of the largest counties by land area in California with very few residents per square mile — expect longer travel times between provider visits.
Appealing a Notice of Action in Inyo County
If Inyo 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
