How much does IHSS pay parents in California?

In California, the IHSS program allows parents to be paid caregivers, with hourly wages that can vary dramatically based on the specific county. For example, IHSS provider wages in Los Angeles County were set at $18.50 per hour starting in January 2025, while San Francisco providers can earn more, and other counties may pay less. The total monthly payment to parents depends on the authorized hours and the specific county's pay rate.
