IHSS Electronic Timesheet Service
    
    An Electronic Timesheet (ETS) allows In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Waiver
    Personal Care Services (WPCS) providers and recipients to submit and approve their
    timesheet online via a tablet, smartphone, or laptop instead of signing a paper timesheet.
    
    To begin using the Electronic Timesheet Service online, you must
    create an account and enroll on the website.

Basic Requirements to enroll:

To enroll and approve timesheets electronically you must:

         a)    Be a current active IHSS recipient.
         b)    Know how to use a smartphone, tablet, computer or laptop.
         c)    Have internet access.
         d)    Have a valid email.
       
Go to the following website to set up an account, select "New User Registration" link
and follow the online prompts:  http://www.etimesheets.ihss.ca.gov

        If you need help, please call the Electronic Timesheet Help Desk
        at 866-376-7066, press option 4

Do not have a tablet, smartphone, laptop or computer? Contact your local IHSS
office to obtain a pin number or Telephone Timesheet PIN Code. Once
attained, the PIN Code can be used to review and approve your provider's timesheets
over the phone by using the Telephone Timesheet System (TTS).  The system will
contact you every time your provider submits a timesheet electronically and you will
be able to approve it using your phone and PIN Code.
