CalFresh Benefits Restored - With the conclusion of the federal government shutdown, all current CalFresh recipients should receive their full benefits through November and the coming months. They will automatically be added to your EBT card and can be used like normal.

The federal government has reopened, restoring federal funding for critical safety net benefits. While CalFresh benefits were delayed, we anticipate that all eligible recipients should be receiving their full benefits. For more information: https://t.co/zZpNaQ7RI4

If the federal government shutdown continues or the government fails to take other action to fund benefits, CalFresh may be delayed in November. You can keep using your CalFresh benefits in October as usual. No action required. Visit https://t.co/2zDv1ocgOB for more information.
