IHSS PROGRAM
Dear IHSS Recipient:
As an alternative to receiving your monthly In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) advance pay warrant by mail, the State
Department of Social Services (SDSS) is offering you the option of having your advance payment electronically transferred to a
financial institution (Bank, Savings and Loan, or Credit Union) of your choice. Direct Deposit through Electronic Fund Transfer
(EFT) is limited to those financial institutions by law. Direct Deposit is optional. If you choose to continue receiving your
advance pay by mail, you do not need to complete the attached form or take any action.
WHAT IS DIRECT DEPOSIT THROUGH EFT?
With Direct Deposit through EFT, your advance payment is electronically transferred to the financial institution of your choice.
You will not receive a warrant through the mail. Instead, every month you will receive a deposit stub, by mail from the State
Controller’s Office, with information about your direct deposit and tax deductions. By the time you receive the deposit stub,
your money will already be waiting in your account. This will save you a trip to the bank.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT?
You are eligible for Direct Deposit if you have been an IHSS recipient for one year, receiving your payment in advance and you
hire and pay your service providers.
You are not eligible for direct deposit if you will send 100% of the funds deposited to your bank to another bank outside the US.
