How much does an initial consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is 100% free. We will listen to your situation, review your eligibility, and explain your options with zero pressure.
Can you help if my IHSS hours were reduced or denied?
Yes. Hour reductions and denials are among our most frequent cases. We review your Notice of Action (NOA), assist in gathering necessary medical documentation, and help you request a hearing to challenge the county's determination.
Can you help with Protective Supervision?
Yes. We help you file the necessary paperwork and can help file an appeal in the event of a denial.
What if I've already received a denial?
Contact us immediately. In California, you generally have 90 days from the date on the Notice of Action to file an appeal. If filed within 10 days of notice (in many cases), Aid Paid Pending may allow your benefits to continue uninterrupted while the appeal is pending.
How long do I have to appeal an IHSS denial in California?
Under California law, you have 90 calendar days from the date of your denial to file a hearing request. It is critical to act promptly.
Do you only serve Los Angeles County, or all of California?
CaliCare Advocates serves families throughout the entire State of California.
How quickly can I speak with an advocate?
We respond to consultation requests promptly, typically within 24 business hours.
Is CaliCare Advocates a law firm?
No. CaliCare Advocates is an independent benefits advocacy service, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, but we offer specialized, non-attorney representation and guidance for California administrative public benefit processes.
Is CaliCare Advocates affiliated with LA County or government agencies?
No. We are independent and not affiliated with any government entity.
Can an advocate attend my IHSS assessment or hearing with me?
Yes. An advocate can attend your home assessment or represent you during hearings, ensuring your evidence is presented clearly and program regulations are enforced.
