IHSS EVV mobile app - how to install & use? Full guide

The IHSS EVV mobile app is a helpful tool for recipients and providers to comply with the federal law of electronic visit verification. This law requires the electronic record of certain information about IHSS and VPCS services performed. Starting from July 1st, 2023, non-living IHSS and VPCS providers who do not live with a recipient are required to check in and check out at the start and end of each workday, indicating if services are being provided in their home or community.

To make this process convenient, the IHSS EVV app offers several options for providers to check in and check out. These options include using the mobile app, electronic services portal, or the telephone timesheet system with the recipient's landline telephone.

If you are an iPhone user and would like to install the IHSS EVV mobile app, simply search for "EHSS EVV" in the App Store. Developed by the Office of Systems and Integrations, this app is currently in the top charts. Tap the "Get" button and log in using your face ID or touch ID. After installation, the app presents a straightforward and minimalistic interface.

Logging in to the app requires your IHSS account username, case entity, and password. If you have forgotten your username or password, there is a reset option available within the app. Once logged in, you will see two buttons: "Check In" and "Check Out." Select the appropriate action and choose the recipient you are providing services to. Input the hours worked and select the location, either home or community. After tapping the "Check Out" button at the bottom, you will receive a success message indicating that you have successfully checked out for the specified recipient.

By using the IHSS EVV mobile app, the check-in and check-out times will auto-populate on your electronic timesheet, saving you time and effort. The app offers a simple and efficient solution for providers to comply with the California EHS SAP and capture essential information such as the date, time, and location where services begin and end.

Additionally, for those who prefer a dark theme, the app allows you to enable this feature. Overall, the IHSS EVV mobile app simplifies the process of electronic visit verification and streamlines the compliance requirements for IHSS and VPCS providers.
