How to Order Forms and Publications

County Form Orders:  Complete the Gen 727B County Forms Order.
This form (Gen 727B) is available online, then click on the "submit" button on the top of the form to complete your order. The order form will be sent automatically to the CDSS Warehouse's e-mail box as soon as it is submitted by clicking the "submit" button. Once the order has been received by the CDSS Warehouse staff, an order number will be assigned and a confirmation reply will be sent back to the sender. If you do not receive a confirmation, you may want to contact the Warehouse at: admbsbwh@dss.ca.gov to verify the order was received.

Form orders specifying revision dates prior to the most recent printing will be shipped by the CDSS Warehouse provided the older revision is still available. These valid forms, bearing order revision dates, will not be accepted back by the Warehouse in exchange for the latest revision.

Backordered forms will be noted on the copy of the GEN 727B returned to you. A duplicate copy of the order will be retained by the CDSS Warehouse and the order will be shipped when stock becomes available. Do not reorder backordered forms. You may receive and be billed for duplicate shipments. If the backordered form is one that is sold, counties will be billed in the quarter the order is filled.

Occasionally, orders may be reduced. The balance will not be backordered. If this occurs, it will be indicated on the paperwork returned to you. To obtain the balance, please reorder by completing a new GEN 727B.
