Get To Know What In-Home Supportive Service (IHSS) Is

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a program in Colorado that provides assistance to eligible aged, blind, and disabled individuals who are unable to remain safely in their own homes without the aid of a caregiver. The program allows individuals to hire caregivers, including family members and friends, to provide in-home supportive services, such as personal care, housecleaning, meal preparation, and other essential services. 

Financial Requirement

In order to qualify for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), the applicant’s income must be at or below 138% of the federal poverty level, and they must have less than $2,000 in non-exempt assets. Additionally, there are special rules for spousal impoverishment that may apply if one spouse needs IHSS services while the other does not. These rules may allow the couple to retain additional assets and income.

What Does The Term Children’s Home And Community Based Services (CHCBS) Refer To?

Children’s Home and Community-Based Services (CHCBS) refer to a range of services and supports provided to children with special needs and their families in their homes and communities. These services are designed to promote the child’s health and well-being, support their development and independence, and enable them to live at home with their families rather than in institutional settings. Examples of CHCBS include respite care, home health care, behavioral therapy, and assistive technology, among others.

Who Can Join This Service?

Children’s Home and Community-Based Services (CHCBS) are typically available to children and youth under the age of 21 with disabilities or special healthcare needs who require a certain level of care to maintain their health and well-being.

Level of Care

To be eligible, your child must require extended medical care comparable to that provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, and meet the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) definition of disability.

Financial Requirement

To be eligible for Children’s Home and Community Based Services, your child must meet certain financial requirements. This includes having a monthly income less than three times the current Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) limit and having financial resources under $2,000. Please refer to the SSI website for the most up-to-date information on income limits.
