Guide in progress
Find out if you're eligible
We're writing a plain-language guide to how eligibility for Personal Assistance works in California — no jargon, no forms to fill in first. It isn't published yet, so for now the honest answer is this: your Regional Center is the one who determines eligibility and authorization, and they can walk you through it.
What the guide will cover
- What Personal Assistance (Service Code 062) actually covers
- How a Regional Center decides eligibility and authorization
- Who can apply, and what information helps
- What to do if you're already authorized — and if you're not yet
Everyday Independence does not determine eligibility, authorization or Regional Center payment. Services depend on your individual needs, authorization and service plan.
