Updates from the State and Federal Government
  • U.S. Census Bureau Workers in Neighborhoods: Starting next week, U.S. Census Bureau workers will be visiting neighborhoods with P.O. boxes that do not receive mail at a physical address to verify addresses and deliver 2020 Census paper questionnaires on doorsteps. Census Bureau workers will not ring doorbells or knock on doors, ask to be allowed inside homes, or request personal information (social security number, credit card or bank account information, donations). This operation is being conducted in accordance with public health guidance and restrictions and the Census Bureau is taking measures to keep staff and communities safe, including providing staff with safety training on social distancing protocols, and outfitting them with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like cloth masks and hand sanitizer. Census workers will have a valid ID badge with their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date. Census workers may also carry a Census Bureau bag and other equipment with the Census Bureau logo. For questions about this operation or to verify the identity of a Census worker, please contact the U.S. Census Bureau at 213-314-6500.
  • Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) Card: Families with children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school can get up to $365 per child to buy groceries while schools are closed. Most families with children who receive CalFresh, Medi-Cal, or Foster Care benefits should receive their cards in the mail by May 22. Eligible families who did not receive their P-EBT card by May 22 must apply online before June 30 at www.ca.p-ebt.org to receive benefits. The application takes about five minutes and is available in three languages. Families can apply regardless of immigration status, and the benefits will not count towards public charge.
