How do I file for an administrative hearing?

Every Notice of Action that is issued by the county has the instructions on how to file a hearing on the back of it. The customer may complete the back of the notice and mail it to:
Department of Employment and Social Services
Attn. State Hearing Unit
P.O. box 1649
Oroville, CA 95965

They may also bring it into either Community Employment Center location: 78 Table Mountain Boulevard, Oroville, CA or 765 East Avenue, Chico, CA.

Finally, they may call the State Hearing Division's toll-free number:

  • Phone: 800-952-5253
  • TDD: 800-952-8349
