IHSS funding deferrals put California family care budgets at risk

The read

The federal deferrals place a household-level financial risk behind a budget dispute because family members provide much of the paid support and may have to fill any service gap. The national spending report helps explain why a disruption in paid home support could be hard for families to absorb, though it does not measure the costs for California IHSS households. Funding disputes should be judged by whether families must surrender income or safe support at home while governments resolve them.
