  • Dental: You are eligible to apply for Liberty Dental Plan if you were authorized to work and were paid to work with a minimum of 25 hours for the most current six consecutive months.

New IHSS Providers will automatically receive insurance enrollment forms by mail through the insurance company when you become eligible. If you enroll by the 12th day of the month, your coverage will start on the first day of the following month.

If you do not have 25 or more authorized hours for three consecutive months, your insurance will be terminated. You will be notified by mail one month before your insurance ends. If your insurance is terminated, you must reapply for coverage when you are eligible.
