Who’s eligible?
Citizens and most legal residents with low incomes are eligible. Undocumented immigrants are usually not eligible, but can apply for their children who are legal residents or U.S. citizens. Beginning summer 2019, recipients of SSI/SSP benefits may be eligible for CalFresh. Applying for CalFresh will not change your SSI/SSP benefits.
Call us at 1-800-984-3663 to find out if you or someone in your household is eligible.
Even if you’ve applied before, laws have changed, so apply again.
