Yes, generally an individual paid to provide other IPP services for the participant cannot be paid as an independent facilitator. This rule applies to regional center funded services. As an example, under this rule, a person who is paid to provide supported employment services to a Self-Determination Program participant cannot be that participant’s independent facilitator because they provide other regional center funded services. An In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) provider may be a participant’s independent facilitator if they do not provide other regional center funded services to that participant.
