The question of whether IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) workers in California will receive a raise in 2025 is a topic of significant importance for both the workers and the individuals who rely on their services. IHSS provides crucial support to seniors, people with disabilities, and children with complex medical needs, allowing them to live independently in their homes and communities.
A potential raise for IHSS workers would have several benefits. First and foremost, it would help to address the ongoing issue of low wages in the caregiving field. IHSS workers are often paid at or near minimum wage, which can make it difficult for them to make ends meet and support their own families. A raise would help to improve their financial stability and well-being.
