I am required to keep this person’s criminal conviction information confidential, and I
am prohibited, by law, from sharing any part of it with any other individual or entity.
I am completing this waiver request form, which applies only to the crime(s) listed

This waiver only applies in the county to which I am sending it. If I move to a new

background check and I will have to complete and submit another waiver request
form in the new county before he/she can work and be paid for providing services
to me as my provider.
If the county notifies me that this person is convicted of an additional disqualifying
felony crime(s) in the future, I will be required to complete and submit another
waiver if I wish to continue receiving services from this person.
A notice will be sent to me when the county has accepted this waiver.
The county will send a timesheet to the provider I have chosen to hire only after this
waiver has been accepted.
By signing this form, I accept the responsibility for hiring the person named on this form
to work in my home. I understand the County and the State of California are immune
from any liability, due to the risk of any actions that may occur, because of my decision
to hire him/her as my IHSS provider.
