CalFresh is continuing to provide its resource during the current COVID-19 health crisis.

The state has decided not to discontinue its largest food program, which issues monthly Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards to low-income individuals and families to purchase food at participating grocery store or farmers markets.

CalFresh said members are not required to submit their Semi-Annual Report or Recertification during the months of March, April and May. The amount of benefits a household receives depends on household size, countable incomes and monthly expenses, such as housing and utilities.

If you are experiencing a loss of income and would like to apply for CalFresh, visit GetCalFresh.org.
