Also included in this transmittal is a list of the forms that have been made obsolete due to the revision of the CalFresh application form.  \nBACKGROUND  \nCalFresh began the process of revising its application forms in January 2013 with the guidance of a workgroup consisting of key stakeholders (counties, consortia  \nrepresentatives, and advocates) . In developing the new application, the workgroup reviewed several other state applications for ideas. The workgroup was instructed to select the top three versions from state applications for each section of the application (income, program rules, etc. ) . Each item selected from each section of the application was tallied and the item with the highest number of votes was used for the new CalFresh application.  \nThe CalFresh application was used as the starting point when work began on the combined multi-program form (SAWS 2 Plus) and is being released at the same time as it aligns with the changes that will be made in the programming of the SAWS 2 Plus application. It has also replaced a number of forms with the goal of reducing the application process to a single signature. In addition to reducing the number of required signatures, it was also developed to be a more user friendly application for applicantsand County Welfare Department’s (CWDs) .  \nCHANGES MADE TO THE CALFRESH APPLICATION  \nThe goal of the application workgroup was to have a shorter application than the current one and to simplify the questions. The main focus was to include only those questions that are federally required to be on the CalFresh application. The questions were also organized and placed under specific categories for an easier flow of information. The information included in the “Coversheet” and “Program Rules and Penalties” pages was also simplified and modified to meet federal requirements. This information was all moved to the beginning of the application to allow the applicant to tear off those pages and keep it for their records when submitting the application to the county office.  \nThe “County Use Section” was deleted from the application with the exception of the Expedited Services (ES) section. This section was kept on the application for counties to document screening the application for ES entitlement. The CWDs are not required to use the screening tool, but must still document that the application was screened for ES entitlement for Quality Control (QC) and Management Evaluation purposes.  \nThere are a few new elements that have been added to the CalFresh application, such as the question where it asks the applicant if they are interested in applying for MediCal. If the applicant indicates that they are interested in applying for Medi-Cal, the information captured on the CalFresh appli","cbCaie6xCso3qsRE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie6xCso3qsRE","pdf",145522,6,"English","# REASON FOR THIS TRANSMITTAL\n## Purpose of the transmittal\n# BACKGROUND\n## Revision process and alignment with SAWS 2 Plus\n# CHANGES MADE TO THE CALFRESH APPLICATION\n## Application length, question simplification, and coversheet updates\n## County Use Section deletion and Expedited Services exception\n## New elements: Medi-Cal interest sharing\n## New elements: e-notification opt-in/out\n## Supplemental forms added at intake\n## Outreach availability guidance\n# SIGNATURE PAGE","[{\"question\":\"What does ALL COUNTY LETTER 13-75 transmit to county departments?\",\"answer\":\"It transmits the revised CalFresh application form and the implementing instructions to county welfare departments and related program staff.
