CalFresh
CalFresh is a grocery assistance program that offers low income individuals and families a supplemental monthly benefit. CalFresh helps people buy the food they need when money is tight.
Who’s Eligible?
CalFresh is for everyone — employed and unemployed individuals, families, seniors, people with disabilities, those experiencing homelessness, active and non-active military personnel. If you’re within the income limits, you may be eligible. As of June 1st, 2019, recipients of SSI/SSP benefits may be eligible for CalFresh. Applying for CalFresh will not change your SSI/SSP benefits.
