Evidence of how IHSS used to advise live in providers to file optional IRS W4 forms to claim 2014-7 exempt income status, prior to the IHSS 2298 optional Live In Self Certification aka IHSS trick. IHSS posted 2298 in 2016, 2 years after we helped IRS and other authorities to force IHSS medi-cal to comply with their own laws and regulations.
2298 is optional not required, unecessary, and not advised.
2298 is an IHSS legal release, and not a tax form
2298 does not provide copies to verify as claimed
It's not a good idea to sign a legal release to approve the IHSS government employer to change your IRS W4 form for you. Without the employee's signature, it would be quite illegal for the IHSS to change the employee's W4 forms.
The employee has a right to file w4 and keep a copy, and update W4 anytime. IHSS doesn't mention that IHSS can't update the employee's W4 form if the employee opted to never file a W4 form.
2298 if signed by the employee, the IHSS may say the authorities are not obligated to mail employees who are live in providers their W2 income verification forms, as required by law, and the reason is the employee is not obligated to pay taxes. W2 income verification forms are used to verify income, and file to claim earned or 2014-7 exempt.
Live in providers who opt not to file to opt out of unearned income status and file claim to earned income status, need their W2 forms or have to file with year end pay stubs.
Live in providers who opt not to file exempt or earned income status at tax agencies, need their W2 income verification forms.

How to stop HUD section 8 from counting IHSS live-in unearned income
IHSS Live-in income is excluded from section 8 renter’s assistance eligibility and rent share of cost, regardless of if or how the live in provider opts to file tax returns as earned or exempt or not at all. Here’s how. You can’t update or force formal due process and written notice of action by phone.

CHAPTER 7. RECERTIFICATION, UNIT TRANSFERS, AND GROSS RENT CHANGES 7-1 Introduction
A. As discussed in Chapter 5, a family’s eligibility for assistance is based on its income, as determined in accordance with program rules. Changes in income or family composition can affect the amount of assistance a tenant is eligible to receive and, therefore, the amount the tenant pays for rent.
B. Because a tenant’s income and family composition can change over time, program requirements establish procedures for addressing these changes. Such changes are examined and implemented through the recertification process.
Under program requirements, tenants have responsibilities for providing timely information about these changes. Similarly, owners have responsibilities for promptly reviewing and verifying this information and for making changes in assistance payments or tenant rent consistent with program requirements. This chapter describes these requirements and procedures. C. Further, changes in the family size or composition of an existing tenant household may mean the current unit is no longer appropriate in size and a transfer to a suitable unit is needed.
This chapter describes the requirements for determining when transfers are needed based on changes in family composition and the availability of suitable units. D. Finally, when owners receive approval from HUD for changes to the gross rents for a property, there are several occupancy-related actions that owners must take. These responsibilities are described in this chapter. https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/43503c7HSGH.PDF

Be aware that after 2014 all live in providers are exempt if they opt to file tax returns a special way not to pay taxes but to claim special 2014-7 exemption to all normal earned and unearned income requirements. Don't be confused, because I am here to help you sort it out. If you read and read you may not be able to force compliance so I have created a step by step tutorial and we continue to update. Let me know if you can't find group tabs or links do not work.
I know we are all busier than ever, for a few days, so message the IHSS page for help.
advised to explore claiming 2014-7 exempt to not only opt out of earned and unearned income status, but also to better qualify for benefits, insurance, and a long list of special allowances. Earned, Unearned, and Exempt income are not the same.
HUD does not require 2014-7 exempt tax returns to comply, but the agency may not fully comply and may intentionally miscount your income in a few months again, if you do not properly file, claim, and update formally. Here’s how to protect IHSS live in unearned income and file to claim exemptions correctly.
