Too much fraud has been ongoing in the special service sector without being noticed. With technology, this situation has been saved; especially through use of ihss fingerprinting. This program involves scanning and printing the fingerprints of any person willing to provide care to needy people. Before registration, service givers cannot be recognized as providers of these services; they cannot be paid for their jobs.
Caregivers are all required to fill registration forms to serve as a formal way of registering with the special services department. They are also supposed to go through a criminal background check to determine whether they are trustworthy or not. Afterwards, they are taken through an orientation on care provision. The major reason for doing this is preventing fraudsters from perpetrating their tricks. Checking them properly eliminates all fraudsters and ensures the needy of their welfare. Genuine servants get paid for their duties.
The state of California, for example, decreed that all caregivers be registered by 31/12/2010. Anyone who did not register by that date would face termination, and be declared ineligible for payment from the program for the services he/she provided to his/her clients. These services are given to qualified people who have attained the age of 65 years and above or are disabled in any way.
The major services given to needy persons are bowel care, laundry, accompaniment to health centers, supervision, protection and preparation of meals among many services. This program is primarily meant for reaching out to needy people. It ensures that the old and other needy people are comfortable.
The first thing a caregiver must do, is completing the IHSS enrollment form and personally taking it back to his/her county in-house service department. In case a person has already gone through this step, the county government will always assist in the remaining stages of registration. After this step, one needs to get his fingerprints printed, and be taken through a check for criminal background by the department of justice. Instructions on the manner of fingerprinting are always given to a person upon returning a signed and completed registration form.
Many companies have registered themselves with county governments to provide these services. They have come up with varying fees for registration. Many of them charge around fifty dollars. This is inclusive of all necessary registration services. More information about specific county governments can be obtained from the internet. Individual county IHSS departments have different policies, all of which can be obtained from their websites.
It is, therefore, important for every service provider to register with the In-house Service department. This is for their own good and the welfare of their clients. It is for their safety in the sense that, registering with this department will ensure that they dully get paid at the end of the month while not registering will lead to their disqualification. The recipient of the services will benefit by having trustworthy individuals taking care of them.
The move by the county governments to have all in-house service providers registered was clever. It has drastically reduced the rate of fraud in this area. Needy people have also been reported to receive quality services from their servants.
