Each County Job and Family Services agency sets its own policies for hardship and good cause extensions. The emphasis of OWF is self-sufficiency, personal responsibility, and employment. OWF requires adults receiving benefits to work or engage in work related activities, such as educational or training programs. Once you have returned the form to our office, you will be scheduled to call our toll free call center at 1-844-640-6446 to speak to one of our caseworkers, who will determine your eligibility.
