FALSE: California Medicaid or IHSS payments are fraud.
Claim
CLAIM: Federal officials alleged that California Medicaid or IHSS payments are fraud, attacking in-home care programs.
Fact
FACT: Fraud is unacceptable; the allegation is not evidence that IHSS itself is fraud.
- California’s prioritization of in-home care is the home-based care federal leaders in both parties have encouraged for decades.
- IHSS helps people stay out of costly institutional settings like nursing homes and get care, often from loved ones.
- IHSS costs about $30,000 per year compared with about $137,000 per year for nursing home care — roughly $107,000 less per person.
