In-Home Supportive Services

Total General Fund expenditures for the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program are $1.5 billion in 2006-07 and $1.6 billion in 2007-08, including an increase of $30.4 million in 2006-07 and $85.6 million in 2007-08 compared to the Governor's Budget. Caseload is projected to be 370,300 recipients in 2006-07 and 389,100 in 2007-08. Although this represents a year-to-year caseload growth of 5.1 percent, the caseload estimates in 2006-07 and 2007-08 are slightly less than projected in the Governor's Budget. The May Revision retains the proposal to limit state participation in the cost of IHSS wages and health benefits at the levels in effect in the current year. Significant General Fund adjustments include:

  • An increase of $8.2 million in 2006-07 and $35.7 million in 2007-08 to fund IHSS provider wage and/or health benefit increases provided in 19 counties since the Governor's Budget, partially offset by lower-than-projected caseload growth.
  • An increase of $33.2 million in 2006-07 and $48.5 million in 2007-08 to reflect a lower level of savings resulting from the IHSS Quality Assurance program. The program was implemented to ensure that individuals receive necessary services consistently across the state and to help control costs. Less savings are assumed based on actual implementation data.
  • A decrease of $11 million in 2006-07 due to a delay in implementation of the Case Management Information and Payrolling System II.
