Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services

Departmental Community Outreach

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) provides community outreach services for CalFresh and Medi-Cal. DPSS deploys Eligibility Workers throughout Los Angeles County at non-traditional sites that may include but are not limited to clinics, schools, churches, libraries, and community agencies. Outreach services offer an alternate platform for the community to access health insurance and nutrition assistance services. In addition, DPSS has partnered with sister Departments, such as Department of Children Family Services, Probation, CSS, Parks and Recreation, Sheriff, Health Services, Public Health and Mental Health to link mutual consumers with CalFresh and Medi-Cal services. DPSS Eligibility Workers provide on-site CalFresh and Medi-Cal assessments to consumers in local neighborhoods and communities.
