Under state law, if you have been convicted of or incarcerated following a conviction for certain exclusionary crimes within the past 10 years, you are not eligible to be enrolled as a provider or to receive payment from the IHSS program for providing supportive services except as specified.  There are two categories of exclusionary crimes.

If you have been found ineligible to be an IHSS provider on the basis of a conviction(s) for a Tier 2 crime, but otherwise meet all of the provider enrollment requirements, you may be permitted to provide services to a specific IHSS recipient(s) if that IHSS recipient(s) chooses to hire you in spite of your criminal conviction(s) and submits a request to the County/Public Authority/Non-Profit Consortium for an individual waiver.
