CalFresh, formerly known as Food Stamps and known federally as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), provides extra funds to help those who are in need each month to buy groceries.

CalFresh provides people with electronic “debit” cards (known as EBT) which they can use to buy most foods at many grocery stores, farmers markets, and some corner markets/gas stations.

Applying for CalFresh

• Californians can visit BenefitsCal.com or GetCalFresh.org to apply or call 877-847-3663 (FOOD)
• CalFresh is a low income program; the gross income limit is 200% of the Federal Poverty Line
  • That said, CalFresh program rules are complex; some income is not countable, and some individuals with income below 200% FPL may not qualify for CalFresh

ebtEDGE

• The ebtEDGE application provides EBT cardholders with increased card/account management tools
• It can be downloaded from the app store, or accessed via a web browser
