Overview
Mariposa County's IHSS program is administered by Human Services, with the Public Authority maintaining a Provider Registry and managing payroll for the Mariposa area and the North County communities near Coulterville, at the gateway to Yosemite National Park.
The Registry Coordinator provides over-the-phone support to both recipients and providers to help maintain a positive working relationship, and requires a clean Department of Justice background check plus reference checks for registry acceptance.

Local Notes & Quirks
- Enrollment appointments only twice monthly: in-person IHSS Provider Enrollment appointments are held specifically on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month — plan ahead, since you can't just walk in any day.
- North County satellite office: residents near Coulterville can access services through Mariposa's North County Health & Human Services Center rather than traveling to the main Mariposa office.
- Gateway to Yosemite: Mariposa County's geography — anchored by Yosemite National Park — means provider availability can be seasonal in some areas, with tourism traffic affecting travel times during peak months.
Appealing a Notice of Action in Mariposa County
If Mariposa 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
