Common Case Referrals

Individuals working with a Partnership Employment Technician (ET) or DFCS Social Worker (SW) who are not receiving CalWORKs cash aid may be referred to DEBS Intake offices to apply for cash aid and/or other benefits including CWES services under Family Reunification AB 429.

Priority Case Assignment

If an intake appointment is not available within three to five working days, referrals from the DFCS SW or CWES Partnership ET MUST be given priority assignment.

CalWORKs/DFCS Intake Referral (SCD 1812)

The CalWORKs/DFCS Intake Referral (SCD 1812) is the form used by the Partnership ET and the DFCS SW to refer an individual to apply for benefits.

Once an eligibility determination is made, the Intake Worker must complete the "County Use Only" section of the SCD 1812 and fax the completed SCD 1812 to the designated Partnership ET listed on the SCD 1812.

Request for EW Special Review

If it is believed cash aid was denied in error, the Partnership ET or the DFCS SW Supervisor will contact the DEBS Intake office to request a special case review.
