Honk News – In California, the program providing food assistance is referred to as CalFresh, similar to what is known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in other regions. The initiative aims to assist low-income families by providing financial resources to enable them to buy nutritious food for their homes.
The initiative seeks to enhance access to healthy food options and alleviate food scarcity by providing a monthly direct deposit through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, usable at selected grocery retailers, subject to standard limitations.
CalFresh benefits are allocated in a staggered manner over the initial 10 days of each month. Your case number should be present in the majority of documents you receive from your county and can also be accessed through your online account at BenefitsCal.
