ACL 12-06: Lopez v. Wagner Settlement Agreement (1/18/12)

Clarification and additional procedures for CalFresh Intentional Program Violations (IPVs) per the Lopez v. Wagner lawsuit. The settlement requires all the counties to list additional information to the disqualified household member along with a revised CalFresh Notice of Administrative Disqualification (DFA 377.7A), effective “as soon as administratively possible, but no later than six months from issuance of the ACL.” The 377.7A was modified to explain how to get back on benefits at the end of the disqualification period, and must be sent with a .7A1 form that allows the recipient to ask for benefits to be restored (other than for permanent disqualifications).  [Download]
