How to Order Forms and Publications
County Form Orders: Use the Gen 727B County Forms Order. After the order form has been completed, the individual who is placing the order can click on the "submit" button on the top of the form. The order form will be sent to the CDSS Warehouse's e-mail box as soon as the individual clicks on the "submit" button. Once the order has been received by the CDSS Warehouse staff, an order number will be assigned and a confirmation reply will be sent back to the sender.
Form orders specifying revision dates prior to the most recent printing will be shipped by the CDSS Warehouse provided the older revision is still available. These valid forms, bearing order revision dates, will not be accepted back by the Warehouse in exchange for the latest revision.
Backordered forms will be noted on the copy of the GEN 727B returned to you. A duplicate copy of the order will be retained by the CDSS Warehouse and the order will be shipped when stock becomes available. Do not reorder backordered forms. You may receive and be billed for duplicate shipments. If the backordered form is one that is sold, counties will be billed in the quarter the order is filled.
Occasionally, orders may be reduced. The balance will not be backordered. If this occurs, it will be indicated on the paperwork returned to you. To obtain the balance, please reorder on another GEN 727B.
