This 30-minute
video explains changes to the IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) program that may impact recipients and providers regarding overtime and travel time pay, and presents general information on the new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements and how they will be applied in California. Most recipients and providers will not be impacted at all, as overtime and travel time does not apply in their individual situation. The real impact applies to providers who work more than 40 hours each work week, providers who work for multiple recipients, or providers who travel directly
from one recipient’s home to another on the same day.
You'll also find this and many other helpful videos about IHSS on the state's IHSS Recipient/Consumer Education Videos page:
