The California Governor’s Budget for 2021-22 includes $275
million in IHSS Care Economy payments to providers.
These are one-time incentive payments of $500 that will be made
to IHSS providers who provided care to recipients for a minimum
of two months between March 2020 and March 2021.
This proposal was recently approved by the federal government as
part of California’s Home and Community Based Services Spending
Plan.
