Common Questions About CalFresh Benefits Forms
What does the DFA 1239 notice tell me?
This notice tells you whether your Transitional CalFresh benefits have been approved, denied, or terminated. It also explains the reasons for the decision and the steps you can take if you disagree. The notice includes the duration of your benefits and any recertification requirements.
What should I do if I receive a denial notice?
If your benefits are denied, you have the right to request a state hearing. Complete the Hearing Request section of this form and submit it before the deadline shown on the notice. You can also call the toll-free number listed on the document to speak with a caseworker or social services representative.
How long do Transitional CalFresh benefits last?

The notice will include the exact benefit period and any recertification dates. You will receive a notice from the department when it is time to renew or recertify your benefits.
