CalFresh benefits can help buy nutritious foods for a better diet. CalFresh benefits stretch food budgets, allowing individuals and families to afford nutritious food, including more fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods. The amount of benefits a household receives is dependent on household size countable income, and monthly expenses, such as housing and utilities. The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards.

To apply for CFAP benefits, please visit CalFreshFood.org or contact your county office. CFAP and CalFresh use the same application. When you apply for CalFresh, the county will figure out if you are eligible for either CalFresh or CFAP.
