CalFresh sent a JJR/Y verification form but I don't know what it means - due soon!

omg same thing happened to me i got weird letters after applying and almost lost benefits bc i didnt know what they meant. call ur worker asap!

That form is most likely the 'Job/Resource Report' (hence JJR) which they send out when they need additional verification about your employment or other income sources. The 'Y' probably indicates the form version or county code. Don't panic, but you do need to respond within the timeframe given (usually 10 days from the date on the letter). They're likely asking for additional pay documentation - maybe they couldn't verify something from what you already submitted. Look carefully at what specific months they're requesting and if they're asking for anything specific like bank statements or employer verification. Make sure you respond even if you think they already have the information - sometimes different departments don't communicate well with each other.

I HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM!!! The county office doesn't make anything clear with these forms!! I sent in what they asked but they STILL discontinued my benefits saying I never responded even though I have PROOF I faxed everything!! This system is designed to kick people off benefits I swear. They make everything confusing on purpose, then blame US when something goes wrong!

When I got forms like this, I found that using Claimyr was the only way I could actually reach a live CalFresh worker to explain exactly what they needed. You can check them out at claimyr.com - they have a system that gets you through the phone queue without waiting on hold forever. Saved me when I was in a similar situation with confusing paperwork. They have a video that shows how it works here: https://youtu.be/eZ19FHRETv8?si=_CXnXqNXbLl26WB8 I was able to talk to an actual person who explained exactly what documents they needed for my verification. Much better than guessing!

Those county form codes can be so confusing! The JJR form is the Job and Resource Report that's used when they need additional verification about your income or resources. Here's what you need to do: 1. Read through the form carefully - it should list exactly what verification they need (likely paystubs, bank statements, or employment verification) 2. Look at the date range they're requesting - sometimes they need documentation from specific months 3. Make copies of EVERYTHING you send them 4. Get proof of submission (receipt from the office, fax confirmation, or delivery confirmation if mailing) 5. Follow up 2-3 days after submitting to confirm they received it They typically send these out when something from your original application raised a question or they couldn't verify something electronically. Responding promptly is crucial to keep your benefits active. Let us know if you have any questions about specific sections of the form!

just wondering did u report all ur income on ur application? sometimes they send those forms when they find out about income u didnt tell them about through their verification system. happened to my cousin and they almost charged him with fraud

Good plan to take the documents in person! One more thing - make sure you ask for a "Proof of Submission" receipt when you drop off the documents. This is different from just a general receipt and specifically shows which documents you submitted. This has saved many people when the county later claims they never received something. Also, if your income situation is complex (like reduced hours, seasonal work, or multiple jobs), include a brief letter explaining it clearly. Sometimes case workers don't understand unique situations and a simple explanation can prevent further verification requests.
