Human Services in Contra Costa County during COVID-19
Attention:
Our Richmond office at 1305 Macdonald is experiencing intermittent closures due to an air conditioning malfunction & excessively high temperatures in the building. If you need benefit services (for EBT cards, Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, etc.), it is best to check if our Richmond office is open by calling ahead at (510) 942-3622. You may also obtain services at our Hercules or other EHSD offices or online at www.benefitscal.com. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
We are closely monitoring actions by the federal administration and will update our website as accurate information affecting our programs becomes available.
