Health + Food CalFresh
Low-income individuals and households can use a CalFresh EBT card to buy food at retail food outlets, grocery stores, farmers markets, and some restaurants.
Changes to CalFresh during COVID-19 related to:
Renewals: Your CalFresh Benefits will continue with no changes for March, April, May, and June 2020. This means that if your semiannual report form (SAR 7) or annual renewal was due in March, April, or May 2020, you do not have to turn it in or complete your interview. If you have turned in your March SAR 7 or renewal paperwork already, it will not be processed, and nothing will change. If your SAR 7 or renewal paperwork included information that would make your benefits go up, please call us at (415) 558-4700 to report this information over the phone.
A CalFresh emergency allotment will be automatically added to your EBT card that will increase your CalFresh benefit to the maximum benefit amount allowed for your household size. All CalFresh households not already at the maximum allowable allotment based on household size are eligible to receive an emergency allotment.
- March allotment will be distributed around April 12, 2020.
- April allotment will be distributed around May 10, 2020.
