About you

CalFresh + CalWORKs require an SSN (Medi-Cal does not). Default: leave blank here and write it on the printed packet at your county appointment — your eligibility worker asks for it in person. Tap 'Enter digitally' below only if you want a fully-completed PDF; values are encrypted on our servers and auto-deleted after 30 days.

If you're escaping abuse or unsafe at your current address, ask the partner where you'll submit this form whether you can use a safe-address (FJC, library, or partner agency). We won't track which address you used.

How we handle addresses →

Full-scope Medi-Cal covers all income-eligible residents regardless of status. CalFresh + CalWORKs have stricter federal rules — your worker will confirm which programs apply.

Household + income

Wages, SSI, SSDI, VA, UI, child support, gig work — list each source.

Expenses (for net-income calculation)

Deductible expenses lower your net income and may qualify you for more aid.
