EVV - Electronic Visit Verification
Beginning July 1, 2023, all IHSS and WPCS providers who do not live with their recipient are required to check-in and out at the beginning and end of each workday.
Non-Live-in Providers are able to check-in and out using either the new IHSS EVV Mobile Application (App), the Electronic Services Portal (ESP), or the Telephone Timesheet System (TTS) using the recipient’s landline telephone.
- There are no penalties for providers for making corrections to their timesheets in regard to check-in, check-out and location information. Providers should make corrections before submitting their electronic timesheet to their recipients.
- There are no changes for providers that live with their recipient. Live-in providers will continue to complete and submit their electronic timesheet to their recipient for approval the same way they do today.
- There are no changes for recipients. Recipients will continue to review and approve their provider’s electronic timesheets the same as today. The EVV requirements do not change how recipient services are authorized or how recipients receive their services.
Providers needing additional information and training about EVV may visit the CDSS website here.
