BenefitsCal for Community Based Organizations
BenefitsCal is a website for Californians that allows individuals to apply for, view, and renew benefits for health coverage, food, and cash assistance through the website.
BenefitsCal makes it easy to apply for food, cash, and health coverage benefits. Please note that General Assistance can only be applied for at a County Social Services office
Community Based Organizations (CBOs) can use BenefitsCal to help people apply and manage their benefits.
In BenefitsCal, CBO staff can have either a CBO Manager account or a CBO Assister account.
Who uses a CBO Manager account? CBO Manager Accounts are or leaders or people in charge at the CBO. They can oversee the work of their staff, who are called CBO Assisters.
Who uses a CBO Assister account? CBO Assisters are usually staff members who work for CBO Managers.
What can CBO Accounts do? Both CBO Manager and Assister accounts can submit applications, upload documents, generate reports, and more.
If you are a CBO Manager and would like to request a user account for your organization, go the BenefitsCal website and scroll down to the Learn more about staff accounts for CBOs. From there, you can click the “REQUEST A CBO MANAGER ACCOUNT” button to begin the process.
