An application can be withdrawn only upon voluntary initiative of the

There is no requirement that denial action be taken on an application which
has been withdrawn.
When an applicant requests that an application for cash aid, Food Stamps,
and/or Medi-Cal be withdrawn, the worker processing the application can
ask the applicant to complete the CW 89 (Application Withdrawal
Request)However, the applicant is not required to do so. If the applicant
completes the CW 89, a copy is given to the applicant and the original
placed in the case file. In either case, the worker must send a CW 10
(Notice of Withdrawn Application) to the applicant to confirm the request for
withdrawal.
D. Cancellations
Cancellation of an application is appropriate only in those cases where the
applicant dies prior to the completion of determination of eligibility.
E. Notice of Missed Interview (Food Stamps only)
If an applicant is scheduled for an Intake interview, but does not show for
the interview when called, a Notice of Missed Interview must be sent,
according to Food Stamps regulations. CalWIN will send this Notice
automatically if the scheduled Intake appointment registers as a No-Show.
