Providers
The Public Authority is committed to making the provider enrollment process as simple and efficient as possible.
In order to begin working for an IHSS recipient, a provider must contact the IHSS Public Authority office. Please email the office at IHSSPA@edcgov.us to initiate the provider enrollment process. You will be provided a link to BOUNDS, a web based provider enrollment system. The enrollment site includes all required videos, additional documentation and forms to be completed; including all of the forms needed to establish a Recipient-Provider relationship: the Provider Enrollment Agreement (SOC 846), Recipient Designation of Provider (SOC 426A), W4 Form and DE-4 Form. State law also requires that all IHSS Providers undergo orientation and a background check using Live Scan fingerprinting.
