CalFresh Benefits During COVID-19

CalFresh Emergency Allotment
Some households will see an increase in their CalFresh benefit allotments. The emergency allotments will be automatically loaded onto their EBT cards sometime in April. Applications for CalFresh can be done online through GetCalFresh.org.

CalFresh Semi-Annual Reports & Re-Determinations
CalFresh participants who have a Semi-Annual Reports (SAR7) due in March, April or May will have their eligibility extended to their next re-determination. Most CalFresh participants who had a re-determination due in March, April or May will have their eligibility extended by 6 months. Participants are still required to report changes to eligibility, such as income increasing over their IRT (Income Reporting Threshold). Always report a decrease in income, it may benefit the household. They can report these changes by calling Social Services.
