IHSS in Placer County

Overview

Placer County's IHSS program is administered by the County, with the Placer County IHSS Public Authority serving as Employer of Record for more than 5,000 providers across the Roseville, Auburn, and Tahoe-area communities.

Local Notes & Quirks

• Two office locations: Placer County IHSS maintains offices in both Roseville and Auburn, reflecting the county's span from the Sacramento suburbs up into the Sierra foothills.
• Returning providers get expedited enrollment: If you've been an IHSS provider before — even in a different county — calling ahead before starting your application can speed up your Placer County enrollment.
• Active IHSS Advisory Committee: Placer County's committee meets regularly in Auburn and is open to current recipients and providers who want a voice in program decisions.

Appealing a Notice of Action in Placer County

If Placer 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
