In our post today, we’re going to walk you through the step-by-step process for creating a C4Yourself account. C4Yourself is an online benefits application for government programs in California. C4Yourself (www.C4Yourself.com) allows residents in select California counties to apply or manage government benefits. The C4Yourself website currently serves residents in the following California counties:
The C4Yourself website can only be used by those residents living in the C4Yourseld approved counties listed above. If you currently live in Los Angeles County, you will use a different online application called Your Benefits Now for applying or managing your benefits.
If you do not reside in Los Angeles County and your county is not approved for C4Yourself, you will use the online benefits application called MyBenefits CalWIN for application and management. For help on how to login to the MyBenefits CalWIN system, check out our post here.
For those residents that live in an approved C4Yourself county, you can use the C4Yourself website to do the following:
- Apply for benefits online
- Open a saved benefits application
- Check the status of an application
- Check the status of your benefits
- View your documents
- View your EBT Card balance
Currently, the C4Yourself website works with the following government benefit programs:
- CalWORKS – California’s medical assistance program that offers free or low-cost health coverage to those adults and children with limited income and resources.
- CalFresh – California’s food assistance program that provides monthly benefits to assist low-income households in purchasing the food they need to maintain adequate nutrition.
- Medi-Cal – California’s Medicaid health care program that covers medical services for adults and children with limited income and resources.
