Overview
San Bernardino County's IHSS program is administered by the Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS), with provider registry, training, and recruitment handled by the San Bernardino County IHSS Public Authority.
As California's largest county by land area, San Bernardino spans both dense urban areas and remote desert and mountain communities — IHSS applications go through a Central Intake Unit, with several physical office locations across the county for in-person needs.

Local Notes & Quirks
- Largest county by land area in the U.S.: San Bernardino County's geography means travel time for in-home assessments can vary widely depending on where you live — rural and mountain communities may have longer scheduling lead times.
- Six office locations: Applications can be submitted in person at any of six DAAS-PG/IHSS Public Authority office locations across the county, in addition to phone and Central Intake options.
- Text notifications available: San Bernardino County offers optional text message notifications for providers and recipients — a convenience not standard in every county.
Appealing a Notice of Action in San Bernardino County
If San Bernardino 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
