CalFresh Tax Offset Notification Letter Error

On May 15, 2024, the State of California mistakenly issued tax offset notifications on behalf of the Alameda County Auditor's Agency to certain current and former Alameda County CalFresh recipients. While the letters were sent in error, they do not represent an attempt to commit fraud and all outstanding amounts are due and payable. We are working collaboratively to verify the accuracy of the amounts owed and to resolve this issue promptly.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your understanding.

Our mission...

The Auditor-Controller Agency, through the efforts of its employees, shall provide the highest degree of accountability and service when administering public funds and in the protection of official public records.
