Once you receive your packet in the mail, complete and sign all the documents:

• Sign the 426
• Sign the 846
• Have your consumer sign the 426A
• Make a copy of your valid drivers license or another government-issued photo ID
• Make a copy of your Social Security Card (Note: your name on both ID's must match)
• Put all the documents in the enclosed pre-paid envelope and mail to the Public Authority

 Background Check:

• In the packet you receive, there is a Live Scan form that must be completed for fingerprinting. Make an appointment to be fingerprinted, and take the form with you.
• Keep the completed copy of the Live Scan form and your receipt for your own records
• A background check is required BEFORE you can be paid for providing IHSS services

 After completion of all enrollment processes and documents, a cleared background, and a completed SOC 426A that your consumer completes, we can then start the payroll process to issue timesheets. Note: Electronic timesheets will be mandated as of July 1st, 2020
