What’s different if you’ve been here before
GetCalFresh.org no longer accepts CalFresh applications or documents.
This website helps you understand the CalFresh application and get live support. You apply for CalFresh on BenefitsCal.
What moved to BenefitsCal
You can use BenefitsCal to:
- Apply for CalFresh
- Upload documents
- Get information about your interview
- Check your application status
- Receive messages from your county CalFresh office
What still happens here
You can still use GetCalFresh to:
- Learn how CalFresh works
- Get live help by chat, text, or email
- Read FAQs and special situation guidance
- Find food and county resources
If you get CalFresh, you may need to submit a SAR 7.
A SAR 7 is a simple form your county uses to check that your information is still correct.
Most people report small changes, like income, work, or address updates. You usually complete it halfway through your benefit period so your benefits continue without a break.
Need help before applying?
If you have questions about documents, the interview, or your specific situation, our CalFresh team can help.
