(Nevada & Sierra Counties only)

The Public Authority is committed to making the provider enrollment process as simple and efficient as possible.

In order to begin working for an IHSS Consumer, the Provider must complete enrollment paperwork. The enrollment paperwork includes all of the forms needed to establish a Consumer-Provider relationship, including the Provider Enrollment Agreement (SOC 426), Recipient Designation of Provider (SOC 426A), and W4 form.

State law now requires that all IHSS Providers undergo orientation and a background check using Live Scan fingerprinting. If you have already completed this process, you will receive a simplified enrollment packet. If you have not, you will need to complete the following requirements in order to receive your first timesheet:

1. Enrollment Forms. Complete the Provider enrollment forms (SOC 426 and 426A). These will be included in your enrollment packet.
2. Orientation, SOC 846. The orientation video lasts approximately 40 minutes. The Public Authority facilitates the orientation at our Grass Valley office Monday-Thursday, from 10am to 3pm by appointment, and by appointment in our other service areas (Sierra and Plumas counties and Truckee). After viewing the orientation video, the Provider must sign and submit the SOC 846 form.
3. Live Scan. Complete the Request for Live Scan Service form and make an appointment for Live Scan fingerprinting. The Public Authority provides Live Scan fingerprinting by appointment for $33. A valid photo ID is required. If you choose to have your Live Scan done elsewhere, you must use the form provided to you by the Public Authority. We can provide a list of other Live Scan locations upon request.
4. Photo ID and Social Security card. You must provide a valid photo ID (such as a driver’s license) and your social security card upon submission of your enrollment forms.
