I was denied several times. I applied in 2023 before April because the case worker that came to my house asked me if I wanted to withdraw my application because I wasn’t going to qualify. She said I didn’t qualify because I didn’t leave or worked a full time job. Some people that have gone through the process said thats a lie. A lady from my daughter’s school said I should have of appeal the case. I have 2 daughters on the spectrum. I currently only claim one of my daughters. I talked to the group you mentioned but they require a lot of payment, or so I read.

Hi yes, I’m my oldest daughter’s caregiver. I get paid to take care of her.

Did you read about "Protective Supervision" through IHSS? It says if your child is approved for Protective Supervision, you can receive financial help to stay home and care for your child.

I did in fact got approved to be a caregiver for my older daughter. They were both approved for the program.

I've done it, and you would benefit from it. Just go through their training and then you can take on additional clients if you want.
