CAN I GET CALFRESH BENEFITS?
1. General Eligibility
In order to see if you qualify, visit www.mybenefitscalwin.org. You must meet the program’s income limits. You don’t have to have a home, or a place to cook, or a permanent address to get CalFresh. You can also own a home and/or car and still be eligible for CalFresh.
Some persons do not qualify:
• Some non-citizens legally in the United States can get CalFresh. Even if you are not eligible for CalFresh due to your immigration status, other adults or children living in your home may be eligible and should apply. Your immigration status will not be affected if you or your family use nutrition programs like CalFresh.
• You can be permanently disqualified from the program if you are caught selling CalFresh benefits worth over $500.
• Strikers and their families are usually kept out of the program, unless they meet the income limits before the strike.
