Beginning Your California Exemption:

If you’re an individual who wants to work, or obtain a license to run, a community care license facility and have a criminal offense for anything other than a minor traffic violation, then you are required to obtain a California exemption from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

We can assist with the California exemption process by:

• Helping you obtain the required forms and documents, and
• Providing guidance on how to complete them.

Obtaining California exemption is important. If you don’t complete the California exemption process properly, you will likely be denied employment, or, if you do obtain employment without the required California exemption, your position will remain at risk.
