CalFresh Benefits Delayed
Your CalFresh benefits will be delayed in November due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. CalFresh benefits will be loaded onto your EBT card once the shutdown ends.
The County of Orange Social Services Agency (SSA) will not close CalFresh cases due to the shutdown. CalFresh recipients are urged to continue meeting all reporting requirements.
- Respond to requests for verification
- Submit your Semi-Annual Report (SAR 7)
- Complete renewals on time
This will ensure you can receive benefits as quickly as possible once funding resumes.
New applications for CalFresh benefits are also being accepted at BenefitsCal.com.
