New Statewide System Will Help Customers Manage Their Benefits Online
Show Notes

This month we're talking about a new statewide eligibility system that will impact hundreds of thousands of customers. The current system used to apply for and manage benefits, known as C-IV, will turn into CalSAWS -- the California Welfare Automated Welfare Benefits System.  

On September 27, C4Yourself, the online platform customers use to apply for and manage benefits such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, will switch to BenefitsCal. BenefitsCal will be a one-stop-shop to apply for vital public benefits and this episode talks about the benefits customers can expect and how they can prepare for the change.
