To File A Claim:
Filing a claim with the Agency is a process regulated by state law. The
Agency cannot give you legal advice regarding the validity or worth of a
claim. Most people generally will consult with an attorney not connected
to the Agency for assistance in filing a claim. All claims must be filed
in a timely manner. Delay in filing a claim may result in a loss of your
rights.
If you wish to file a claim, please print and complete the following
form and deliver it to the Agency’s address:
SHRA, Legal Department, 630 I Street, Third Floor, Sacramento, CA
95814. You may use your own form, but it must comply with applicable law.
Please do not attempt to return the form provided below by e-mail.
To Make A Public Records Request:
If you wish to make a request for information under the California
Public Records Act, we must receive your request in writing. Please
deliver your request to: SHRA, Legal Department, 630 I Street, Third
Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814.
In order for us to assist you, please make your request as specific as
possible. General or very broad requests tend to produce a large number of
documents and could delay your request. Please remember that the Agency is
not required to create any new documents, only provide records upon
request that are already held by the Agency. For example, if you request a
list of names and that list does not exist, we will simply notify you that
no such record exists.
Within 10 days of the receipt of your request, you will be notified
when the requested records will be available for you to review in our
offices. Copies of any records reviewed can be made at a charge of ten
cents per page.
