Overview

Yuba County's IHSS program is administered by the Health and Human Services Department, with In-Home Supportive Services handled as part of the Adult Services division serving recipients throughout the Marysville and Linda areas.

Yuba County works closely with neighboring Sutter County on broader senior and disability resources — organizations like FREED Center for Independent Living and Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center serve both counties jointly — though each county administers its own IHSS program and registry separately.

Opens on the CDSS website. The form goes to Yuba County, not to the state, so call the number above to ask where to mail, fax or bring it.

Once you apply, the county schedules an in-home assessment. A social worker scores how much help you need with each task, and those scores decide your monthly hours — see how the Functional Index ranks work. If your hours are later denied or reduced, you have appeal rights with deadlines: how to appeal a Notice of Action. Becoming a paid provider is a separate process — start with the Provider Hub.

Local Notes & Quirks

  • IHSS Advisory Committee: Yuba County maintains an IHSS Advisory Committee that reports to the Board of Supervisors — membership applications are available through the Clerk of the Board for residents interested in a voice in local IHSS policy.
  • Regional caregiver resources: even though IHSS itself is county-specific, Yuba residents can access the broader Yuba-Sutter caregiver support network, including FREED's independent provider registry and Del Oro's family caregiver services covering a 13-county region.
  • Part of a larger HHS department: IHSS in Yuba County sits within a broader Health and Human Services Department that also covers Child Welfare, Public Health, and Employment Services — routing through the main line and asking for IHSS/Adult Services gets you where you need to go.

Yuba County IHSS — Common Questions

How much do IHSS providers get paid in Yuba County?
IHSS providers in Yuba County are paid $18.78 an hour, effective January 1, 2026. Wage rates are set locally rather than statewide, which is why they differ from county to county — across California the rates CDSS publishes currently run from $16.90 to $25.00. The rate is the same whether you care for a family member or someone unrelated.
What will IHSS providers be paid in Yuba County in 2027?
Yuba County has not published a provider pay rate for 2027. California's minimum wage rises from $16.90 to $17.40 an hour on January 1, 2027. County IHSS wages are built on the state minimum wage, so no county's rate can be lower than that. To confirm a rate, call Yuba County IHSS at (530) 749-6471.
How many IHSS hours do people get in Yuba County?
Recipients in Yuba County are authorized 128.6 hours a month on average — 9.6 above the statewide average of 119. That is an average across the whole caseload, not an entitlement and not a target. Your own hours come from your assessment — a social worker scores each task you need help with on a 1-to-5 scale and applies the published CDSS time ranges. Someone with high needs may be authorized well above this figure; someone with lighter needs, well below.
How do I apply for IHSS in Yuba County?
Call the Yuba County IHSS intake line at (530) 749-6471 to start an application. You can also apply through your county social services office or ask a hospital discharge planner, doctor or social worker to make the referral. The county will then arrange an in-home assessment. Counties have 90 days from the date you ask for services to decide on your application, and once you are approved, services can be authorized back to that date.
How many people receive IHSS in Yuba County?
About 1,612 people receive IHSS in Yuba County, roughly 0.2% of the 925,481 recipients statewide, supported by around 1,520 providers. Figures come from California Department of Social Services program data for July 2026.
How many people receive Protective Supervision in Yuba County?
About 265 recipients in Yuba County receive Protective Supervision, around 16.4% of the county caseload. Protective Supervision covers people who cannot safely be left alone because of a mental impairment. It is assessed separately from the personal care tasks, and the hours count inside the same monthly ceiling as everything else — not on top of it.
Can I be paid to care for a family member in Yuba County?
Yes, in most cases. Adult children, parents of adult children, siblings and other relatives can all be paid IHSS providers, at the same $18.78 hourly rate as anyone else. You enroll through the county: submit the SOC 426, complete Live Scan fingerprinting and a Department of Justice background check, attend provider orientation, and sign the SOC 846. A spouse can be paid too, but only for part of the care — personal care and paramedical services, and in some situations accompaniment and Protective Supervision — because a spouse living in the home is expected to do most household tasks unpaid. A parent can be the paid provider for their own minor child through the ordinary enrollment process.

Figures are from CDSS program data (July 2026) and the CDSS county wage sheet (IP Effective 10-1-2026). County averages describe a caseload, not an entitlement — how we calculate estimates.

Appealing a Notice of Action in Yuba County

If Yuba 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 1-800-743-8525 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
