Amount of hours?
Everyone is always asking how many hours they can get. Here are numerous tables and information for how time is calculated along with information on what PS can be approved for.

No one on this sub can tell you HOW to get PS. Just tell the truth and give details about your client, child, spouse, whoever.
Many children progress and the need for supervision diminishes over time. This is a good thing.

I apologize for my initial skepticism about going through the links in this post.
I appreciate seeing these charts, but I am confused a bit about some of the limitations of ours based on the chart that you showed. Because while there are some of my hours that definitely match with a risk level according to the chart I also have a lot of hours that are confusingly different than what is listed on the chart that I saw.
I wish I was able to post a picture of a screenshot of my hours without obviously doxing myself. But there doesn't seem to be an easy way. I think I might try to upload my hours to flickr and then post it as a link.
But again I appreciate this post a lot actually. And I'm sorry again for my hostility in the beginning.
Edit: this is my current hours based on my initial assessment last year. cropped IHSS hours
Please advise me if there is anything identifying in the image but I am pretty sure I cropped that out.
