HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04282009 - C.52RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or his
designee, to submit to the State of California a rate adjustment request for the In-Home
Supportive Sevices Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None - This action will maintain costs to the County at the budgeted level. Without these
changes, an increase of $4.3 million in County costs could be incurred.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California is adjusting the maximum wage that may be paid to an IHSS
provider and receive funding from the State. The current rate is $11.50 per hour plus $0.60
in benefits. The new rate will be $9.50 per hour plus $0.60 in benefits. In order to maintain
costs at the current amount and avoid a $4.3 million increase in County costs, a request for
a change in the rate must be submitted to the State of California no less than 60 days in
advance, or May 1, 2009.
