Safe Surrender Sites

The Safely Surrendered Baby Law (SSB) allows a parent or other person who has lawful custody of a baby to surrender that baby, up to 72 hours old, at a safe surrender site without criminal prosecution for abandonment – provided that there is no suspicion of abuse or neglect. Newborns may be surrendered to any public or private hospital room, or to certain fire stations designated by the Nevada County Board of Supervisors or by a local fire agency. The law also allows for a 14-day period during which the person who surrendered the baby can reclaim the baby by calling the Nevada County Child Protective Services Hotline at (530) 273-4291. The 14-day period begins on the day that the baby is surrendered.

CodeRED

Nevada County has a new emergency and mass notification provider. The transition from CityWatch to the industry-lead, high-speed mass notification system, CodeRED, began earlier this year.

CodeRed.jpg

The transition to CodeRED will offer Nevada County residents access to patented technologies that were not available with the previous provider. Public safety officials will be able to more effectively communicate time-sensitive messages using the CodeRED system’s robust dialing infrastructure that is entirely managed by its parent company, Emergency Communications Network. This access will allow calls to be delivered seconds after public safety officials launch a message. Additionally, the County will have the ability to better target notifications geographically, only notifying those community members impacted by an alert.

USES:

The CodeRED system will be used to send critical communications, from evacuation notices to missing child alerts.

CALLER ID:

When you see the following displayed, you will know the call is from the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services. If you would like to hear the last message delivered to your phone, simply dial the number back.

  • Emergency Notifications
    1-866-419-5000 or Emergency Comm
  • General Notifications
    1-855-969-4636 or ECN Community

PRIVACY:

Your contact information remains private and will only be used for community notifications

JOIN THE DATABASE:

To make sure you receive notifications, please register at The Nevada County Office of Emergency Services or CodeRED. Nevada County residents who registered with CityWatch have been transferred to the new CodeRED system, however all residents of Nevada County are encouraged to update their existing information and enroll additional contact information through the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services enrollment page.

Residents and Businesses who are using AT&T as a landline phone provider will automatically have their phone number added as part of the Public Safety Data Base available to public safety agencies. They are still encouraged to add cell phone information to the CodeRED data base.

Contact information accessed through CodeRED will only be used by Public Safety Officials for emergency notification.

As part of the statewide move towards more efficient water use, Nevada City offers FREE low-flow shower heads and toilet rebates for replacing your old toilet with a high-efficiency toilet (HET.)

Affordable Health Insurance

h2>What is Health Care Reform?

The term “health care reform” refers to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — the federal law that was passed in March 2010 — as well as any state laws passed to put it in place. These laws are intended to help more people get affordable health care coverage and receive better medical care.

Watch the Video “Health Reform Hits Main Street” to understand more about Health Care Reform

Watch more videos about Health Care Reform (also available in Spanish).

For more information

What do I need to do now?

You don’t really need to do anything right now, but you may need to take action in fall of 2013. Until California Health Insurance Marketplace — Covered California — opens in October, you may want to learn all you can about health care and reform, and how it might affect your current health coverage or how you can find affordable coverage if you are uninsured.

Health Insurance

Marketplaces, sometimes called “Exchanges,” will be a state- or federal-run website where many people can buy health care coverage. In California, the “Exchange” is called Covered California.

Through Covered California, you will be able to compare and choose health plans offered by private companies, get answers to questions, and find out if you are eligible for financial assistance or special programs.

Covered California will also operate a Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). There, small employers can purchase a variety of plans, and then may choose to allow its employees to choose from plans it selects or from all the plans.

Do I have to buy from the Marketplace?

No, not necessarily. The Marketplace is just one of the ways people can shop for health coverage. People can still get coverage through their employer or directly from an insurance company. You will have to buy coverage through the Marketplace to apply for subsidized coverage, however.

Who has to buy health insurance?

The Affordable Care Act requires most U.S. citizens and legal immigrants to have a basic level of health coverage starting January 1, 2014.

The individual responsibility requirement to purchase health coverage does not apply to some:

  • People who cannot afford coverage (defined as those who would pay more than 8 percent of their household income for their premiums)
  • Undocumented immigrants
  • People without insurance for less than three months
  • Individuals with incomes below the tax filing threshold
  • People with certain religious beliefs
  • Members of Native American tribes
  • People who are in prison.

Can’t afford health care coverage?

The government may provide financial assistance — called subsidies — to help some people pay for health coverage or care if they can’t afford it themselves. This is usually determined by a person’s income level and family size. You will be able to find out if you qualify for financial assistance when Covered California launches in October. Until then, the chart on the next page includes income eligibility guidelines. Covered California has more information on financial assistance.

qualify

If I don’t buy health care coverage?

If you don’t buy coverage and go without it for three months or longer, you’ll be charged a tax penalty by the government. If you lack coverage for a period of fewer than three months, you will not be charged a penalty for that period of time.

Can anyone, even someone with pre-existing conditions, get health care coverage?

Yes, anyone can get coverage. Insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to anyone who has a pre-existing medical condition, and you don’t have to pass a medical exam to qualify for coverage.

What services will be covered?

In general, most medically necessary services will be covered. This includes preventive care visits, immunizations, and screenings (such as mammograms and other cancer screenings). Maternity, newborn, and pediatric care will be covered, as well as emergency and hospital care. Laboratory services, prescriptions, and mental health (including substance abuse) services will also be covered. A full list can be found here. Some large employer plans that were in effect before the Affordable Care Act was passed in March 2010 may not be required to cover all these services.

What does a “grandfathered” plan mean?

Group health plans that were created — or an individual health insurance policy that was purchased — on or before March 23, 2010, are exempt from many changes required under the Affordable Care Act. You can find out if your insurance is grandfathered by reviewing your health plan documents.

CalFresh Information – Food Assistance Program

url

CalFresh Market Money is Back!

 

What is CalFresh?

CalFresh is a program funded by the USDA to help improve health and nutrition of families with low incomes. CalFresh can stretch food dollars, allowing families and individuals to buy more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and other healthy foods.

Who Can Receive CalFresh?

CalFresh is for all types of people that fit within the eligibility guidelines. CalFresh is not only for mothers or families with children. Fathers, single adults, people with disabilities and seniors are also eligible for CalFresh. If a parent is ineligible, he or she can apply on behalf of his or her children.

CalFresh is an entitlement program. This means that all who apply and qualify as eligible will receive benefits and will not “take someone else’s place.” The USDA sets aside funds for the program, and because there is currently underparticipation in the program millions of dollars in benefits are being left unused.

When you apply, your income and many other factors are taken into account to determine whether or not you are eligible. By calling 2-1-1 Nevada County, you can be prescreened for major eligibility criteria, helping you to understand if you might be eligible to receive CalFresh and to feel more prepared before you begin the application process.

How Does CalFresh Work?

CalFresh benefits are deposited monthly on an EBT card that works like a debit card with a pin. You can check the balance online or over the phone. Benefits can be used almost anywhere food is sold, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, stores like Target and Costco, some ethnic markets, and some farmer’s markets.

How Much Can I Receive in CalFresh Benefits Each Month?

The amount you receive depends on your income, expenses, and family size. Most households with CalFresh get about $200 each month.

What if I am Already Receiving Nutritional Assistance? Can I Apply for CalFresh?

If you are already receiving Supplemental Nutritional Assistance on an EBT card, you are now automatically enrolled in CalFresh! Your benefits will continue without interruption and there is no need to also apply for CalFresh. The eligibility requirements remain the same, only the name has been changed to reflect the goal of the program and what it really is – a way for people to provide healthy food for their families.

How Do I Apply?

You can read about the application process on the State of California’s website; you can fill out an application online through Benefits Cal or you can dial 2-1-1 for more information.

Our 2-1-1 Client Service Representatives prescreen callers with a few quick questions to see if they or anyone in the household meet the basic criteria to be eligible for CalFresh. If you might be eligible, they can help direct you to the next step in the process of applying.

2-1-1 Nevada County can also provide you with additional information about the CalFresh program, including the options in the County for applying and the locations where you can apply and/or receive assistance with completing the application.

2-1-1 can help callers access the CalFresh program in the following ways:

  • Assist potentially eligible callers with completing the CalFresh application over-the-phone,
  • Send an application packet to the caller to complete on his or her own,
  • Connect callers with a Community Based Organization (CBO) that can help with the application process,
  • Connect callers to their respective County Family Resource Center where you can apply in person,
  • Or direct callers to onlne options for submitting an application to the County.

What is Prescreening?

Prescreening is a process during which callers answer a few questions regarding major criteria for CalFresh eligibility. This process is referred to as “prescreening” to reinforce that it is not a process to determine eligibility and it does not “screen out” potential applicants. While prescreening is an essential piece of California’s outreach efforts, it can also offer an opportunity to spread incorrect information or inappropriately discourage a person from applying for CalFresh.

Prescreening only determines whether the caller may be eligible for CalFresh. There are many factors that go into determining CalFresh eligibility that this quick assessment does not take into account. Prescreening encourages people who are potentially eligible to apply for CalFresh. Prescreening saves people time and effort if they are likely not eligible for CalFresh. Every caller must be informed that only an eligibility worker in a county food stamp office can make a final decision about whether a household is eligible for CalFresh.

Can I Prescreen Myself?

You can call 2-1-1 to be prescreened by a CSR, or you can click here to use this resource tool to check if you are likely eligible.
