This
Pre-Screening Tool can be used
to determine if you may be eligible
to receive CalFresh benefits.
This Pre-Screening Tool is not
an application for CalFresh.
An application for CalFresh benefits
must be made at your local CalFresh Office.

CalFresh was established
to improve the nutrition of people
in low-income households. It
does that by increasing their
food-buying power, so they are
able to purchase the amount of
food their household needs. CalFresh benefits are used instead of money at the grocery store. |

Application for CalFresh Benefits (DFA 285 A-1) |
|
|
The Department of Public Social Services has
the following brochures available in English and
Spanish only that contain information about CalFresh and they may also be used
as CalFresh outreach material.
|
|
|
The
value of your CalFresh benefit depends
on the size of your eligible
household and other eligibility.
|
|
|
A "household" is
a person living alone or
living with others or a group
of people who live together
and normally buy and prepare
their food together. Parents
and their children under
age 22 who live together
are considered to be a household.
