Descriptions
CalFresh is a supplemental program that helps buy food. The program supports limited-income individuals and families to stay healthy. Monthly benefits are provided on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. EBT Cards work just like a bank debit card to buy food. EBT Cards are accepted at most grocery stores and markets, including some Farmers' Markets.
Eligibility
Generally, households must have gross income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) and net income (after certain deductions) below 100% of FPG. You must be a citizen or legal resident to receive CalFresh (undocumented individuals are not eligible, but can apply for their children if the children are legal residents or citizens).
Application Process
Applications can be submitted in office, online, by phone, by fax, or mailed in.
