CCS Numbered Letters
Numbered Letter Web Page Updates
As part of the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) project to make all DHCS webpages compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), The Integrated Systems of Care Division (ISCD) is reorganizing this California Children's Services (CCS) Numbered Letter (N.L.) webpage. This includes ISCD removing all references to inactive and outdated N.L.s and only listing active N.L.s.
If you need to access a N.L. that is no longer being displayed on this website, or the N.L. hyperlink displayed is not working, please send a request to CCSProgram@dhcs.ca.gov, including the CCS N.L. number and/or title you were trying to access, and we will forward to you a copy of the inactive N.L.
