Important Notes
- If you had an account with one of the old systems (like MyBenefits CalWIN), you will need to create a new account on BenefitsCal and link your case. Your old information should be accessible after you’ve completed this process.
- To get started, visit the official website: BenefitsCal.com.
If you’re having trouble with the website or have specific questions about your case, the best thing to do is to contact your local county social services office.
