Mendocino County Department of Social Services (MCDSS) is closely monitoring recent federal announcements that may impact healthcare and social service programs across California, including funding connected to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program.

Recent federal actions include the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) decision to delay more than $1 billion in Medicaid reimbursements to California as part of broader anti-fraud initiatives. Federal officials also announced a temporary six-month pause on new Medicare enrollment for hospices and home health agencies.

At this time, IHSS services in Mendocino County continue without interruption.
