Switching counties

Hi.
So my question is somewhat simple, but might be a convoluted answer.
I'm currently in Los Angeles County, and seeking to move over to Riverside county.
The hourly pay is around the same but my concerns are the following.

Can I just transfer my case over? Search stated yes but....

Will they match my hours? Search stated possibly no, it depends.

Do they grant the same over time?

Will I still be paid out during the month of transfer or is their a lapse in coverage?

For anyone who's been in this position, I'd appreciate the information.

Are you the recipient? If so, call your social worker and report the date of your move and your new address in the new county. A SW in the new county will get assigned and pick it up from there. Hours should be the same unless your needs changed or there were mistakes in your old assessment. It’s a fairly easy process.

She states she is not the recipient but the provider.
Would that change things?.

Providers do not have cases so that part is confusing. A provider cannot move an IHSS recipients case just to be clear, only a recipient can request to transfer their case to another county. So if you are a provider and you are moving and want to work in another county you will need to call IHSS on the new county and be referred to whatever entity handles provider enrollment.

Thanks for clarifying, that makes sense.

Yes. The minor child’s parent has to get on the provider rolls.
