Recommendation for Legislative Action
To provide for more equitable financial participation by counties, the Legislature should revise the State's IHSS funding formula to include annual updates based on current program growth and costs and a review of specific funds available to counties. To the extent that some counties' revenues dedicated to IHSS are insufficient to cover their IHSS contributions, the Legislature should provide counties with assistance as it deems appropriate or designate additional funding sources in state law.
