  • Proof of eligibility for a program that provides financial aid to adults without enough income or resources such as:
    • CalFresh
    • MediCal
    • CalWORKS
    • Supplemental security income
    • Social security disability

The records must show the individual’s name and be dated within two years of the date of the fee relief request.

Neighborhood

You can prove you lived in an area disproportionately impacted by cannabis criminalization using any two of the following:

  • California Driver’s License or State Identification Card
  • Property tax bill or payment, or evidence that the owner is exempt from property tax payment
  • Signed rental agreement, or deed or title to residential property
  • Copies of state or federal tax returns
