Cf 27 Form PDF Details

In the realm of social services, the CF 27 form emerges as a pivotal document for families and individuals accessing food assistance in California. Anchored by the California Department of Social Services, this form functions as a recertification tool for Non-Assistance CalFresh (NACF) households. Its primary role is to streamline the recertification process, allowing for the continuation of benefits without necessitating the standard CalFresh application. Detailing essential personal information, income, and household composition, the form serves as a thorough check-in, ensuring that assistance aligns with current needs. The requirements captured within—from basic contact information to the nuanced inquiry into household members' citizenship status—reflect a broader effort to tailor support while adhering to both state and federal guidelines. Additionally, the form touches on expedited benefits for those in immediate need, bringing to light the dynamic challenges faced by Californians in securing food security. Within its five pages, the CF 27 encapsulates the complexities of assistance programs, aiming to balance thoroughness with accessibility, ensuring those in need can navigate the recertification process efficiently.

APPLICANT/RECIPIENT CERTIFICATION

I have completed the questions above and read all the information. I understand the new CalFresh rules and penalties apply to my application or reapplication for CalFresh. I understand the new rules and agree to comply with them.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, sex, reli- gion, national origin, age, disability or political beliefs. You may file a complaint if you think you have been discriminated against. If you disagree with the decision of the county, an appeal process is available to you.

The information on this application may be shared with federal, state and local agencies only for the purposes of certifying eligibility for the CalFresh Program. This process may include confirmation with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, formerly INS) of the immigration status only of those persons seeking CalFresh benefits. Federal law says the USCIS cannot use the information for anything else except cases of fraud.
