This ACL provides counties with information regarding newly enacted regulations within the California Department of Social Services' (CDSS) Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP) concerning In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) provider enrollment. These newly enacted regulations amended MPP Section 30-701(a)(4) through MPP Section 701(t)(3), amended Sections 30-776, et. seq., and added MPP Sections 30-777, et. seq. , to the MPP. These regulations are available for viewing at http://www.dss.cahwnet.gov/ord/PG310.htm .
 
This ACL also transmits new and revised forms and notices relating to the IHSS provider enrollment process.

IMPLEMENTATION DATE
The CDSS understands the need for counties to have system support available to facilitate the transition to the new provider enrollment requirements. The CDSS anticipates the modifications to CMIPS, to assist in the implementation of these new provider enrollment requirements, will become operative in early 2017.
