Fair Oaks, 2nd floor, Pasadena, CA 91103 (located in the Vons shopping center on the southwest corner of Orange Grove and Fair Oaks. Look for the double doors just south of Vons marked “Housing and Community Development Division (HCDD). Take elevator to 2nd floor.) The Housing and Community Development Commission--HCDD (a/k/a Pasadena Community Development Commission) (formerly known as Pasadena Housing Authority) provides rental assistance to low-income elderly and disabled individuals, as defined by HUD. The program is called Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The funds come from HUD, US Department of Housing and Urban Development—many refer to this program as “HUD Housing”—or “Section 8 Housing”. Individuals may choose rental units to suit their needs in the Pasadena or Altadena area. A person may qualify to pay only 30% of monthly income for rent, and HCDD (with HUD funds) will pay the difference between that amount and rent. People go to above address to file for a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. With this voucher, they are free to negotiate with any landlord who will accept the voucher for rental of a home or apartment. These are the private-party vouchers. HOWEVER DUE TO HEAVY DEMAND FOR THESE VOUCHERS, you should tell people to call 626/744-8300 before you send them to above address. Most people can file by phone, but have to be put on a waiting list.

The new name for California’s Food Stamp Program is “CalFresh.” This name change is a result of a recent State law. The CalFresh Program is the cornerstone of the federal food assistance program.The purpose of this program is to promote and safeguard the health and well- being of low income households by raising their levels of nutrition and increasing their food purchasing power. In California, the monthly CalFresh benefit is transferred to the household’s Golden State Advantage Card, known as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, and is issued when the household’s CalFresh case is approved. Individuals or households whose income is low enough and meet other eligibility factors, can get CalFresh benefits. Qualified immigrants may get CalFresh benefits. In California, SSI/SSP recipients are not eligible for CalFresh. The amount of CalFresh benefits depends on the household size and income. The less income a household receives, the more CalFresh benefits they can get. Effective February 1, 2011, resources such as money and property are no longer counted when determining CalFresh eligibility. APPLICATION PROCESSING AND EXPEDITED SERVICE CalFresh applications are processed within 30 days. In emergency situations, a household may receive CalFresh benefits within three days of the date of their CalFresh applications. It is our Department’s policy to issue expedited CalFresh benefits on the day of application, whenever possible. Metro North WorkSource Center 342 San Fernando Road, Los Angeles, CA 90031, Tel.

T Subject: Physical Disability Board of Review for Veterans who were medically separated WHAT IS THE PDBR? The Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR) provides Veterans who were medically separated from their Military Service between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009, with the opportunity for review of their disability ratings to ensure fairness, consistency and accuracy. The PDBR was created by Congress as part of the Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act of 2008. Signed into law by President Bush on January 28, 2008, the PDBR began reviewing its first cases in June 2009. WHO CAN APPLY TO THE PDBR? To be eligible for PDBR review, a Veteran must have been medically separated between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009 with a combined disability rating of 20 percent or less, and not have been found eligible for retirement. Former reserve members with greater than 20 years of Total Federal Military Service yet with fewer than 20 years of Active Duty and who meet the criteria listed above are also eligible to apply. There are roughly 75,000 eligible Veterans who are eligible to apply to the PDBR under the stated criteria. As of May 2011, just over 2,500 Veterans have applied. HOW DOES THE PDBR OPERATE? The Department of Defense (DoD) designated the Air Force as the lead component to establish and operate the PDBR. The PDBR evaluates and reviews cases for all services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard) and their reserve components. Located in Arlington, VA, the PDBR is a true joint service board (and the only existing joint service disability evaluation and review board). Each case is jointly reviewed by representatives from three separate services (to include the service of the applicant). The PDBR examines each applicant's medical separation, compares DoD and Veteran’s Administration (VA) ratings, and makes a recommendation to the respective Service Secretary (or their designee) as to whether or not the Secretary concerned should change a disability rating (which reflects a more accurate rating at the original time of separation) resulting in the Veteran’s transfer to the Disability Retirement rolls. By law, the PDBR may not recommend a lower disability rating for any rating reviewed. All changes to disability ratings that are approved by the Service Secretary concerned will be backdated and effective the date of the original Physical Evaluation Board. The PDBR exclusively uses the Veterans Administration Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) as its adjudication guidance in reviewing unfitting conditions considered by the Disability Evaluation System [Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) and Physical Evaluation Board (PEB)]. If a particular condition was recognized and documented by the Service Department Disability Evaluation System, the PDBR will review it to ensure the Veteran was properly credited for physical ailments which may have caused the eventual medical separation of the Veteran. If a Veteran has a condition he/she feels should have been considered by his/her MEB or PEB, but it was not a part of his/her MEB or PEB, the avenue of redress is not through the PDBR; but instead through the Veteran’s Board for Correction of Military/Naval Records (BCMR/NR). Upon receipt of a Veteran’s application, the PDBR will request copies of all applicable VA medical and rating documents as well as all Military Service Department Physical Evaluation Board related records, including the Veteran’s Service Treatment Record (STR). The Veteran may submit any additional information pertinent to the request with his/her application. The review is records based only and no provision is made for a personal appearance by the Veteran or his/her representative. WHY SHOULD I APPLY TO THE PDBR? Since the PDBR began reviewing cases in June 2009, in more than 50% of cases, Veterans have had their original disability determination upgraded, resulting in a disability retirement for the Veteran. Although no guarantee of this re characterization rate can be made going forward, it is a good indicator of the degree of success applicants have had with the board up until now. If a Veteran is awarded a disability retirement as a result of the review process, it may not result in any immediate monetary gain by the Veteran (previously awarded payments from the VA and DoD as related to the original disability must be recouped by the government, prior to new payments being made; but this recoupment is made from the new monthly disability annuity payments going forward). Regardless, from the time of disability retirement award, the Veteran becomes eligible for all retirement benefits normally awarded military department retirees (health care, exchange, commissary, travel, etc.).
