You have posted this question in the category for criminal law. This category is generally used for people who are being charged with a crime, and seek defense of criminal charges. The reason that I point this out is because these questions are posted to lawyers who specialize in these areas. You may be better off posting your question in labor law, or even health care law.

My understanding is that IHSS is In Home Supportive Services. IHSS is part of the Department of Social Services, that provides in home care for someone who is over 65, blind, or disabled. This also includes disabled children. I understand that you do not want to get into trouble, so my advice to you (in addition to reposting in a better category) is to not misrepresent the number of hours or the time you have provided service.
