(a) In addition to the income exemptions specified in subdivision (a) of Section 14005.7, an income exemption shall be allowed each month for the amount actually paid toward the cost of in-home supportive services needed as determined under standards and procedures established by the Director of Social Services, by a person who is eligible for Medi-Cal in accordance with Section 14005. 3 or 14005.7. For the purpose of this section, “in-home supportive services” means those services that are available to recipients of the In-Home Supportive Services Program as defined by the Director of Social Services in regulations adopted pursuant to Article 7 (commencing with Section 12300) of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 9.
(b) The income exemption provided by this section for those persons eligible for Medi-Cal in accordance with Section 14005.7 shall be restricted to those persons who, without in-home supportive services, would require 24-hour-a-day care in a health facility, as defined in Section 1250 of the Health and Safety Code, or a community care facility, as defined under Section 1502 of the Health and Safety Code.
(c) The State Department of Health Services shall seek all federal waivers necessary to allow for federal financial participation. The income exemption authorized by subdivision (b) shall remain in effect during the time period that the federal waivers are pending. If the necessary federal waivers cannot be obtained, the income exemption authorized by subdivision (b) shall continue to be implemented by the department.
