CalFresh (federally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP) is a federally mandated, state-supervised, and county-operated government entitlement program that provides monthly food benefits to assist low-income households in purchasing the food they need to maintain adequate nutritional levels.
In general, these benefits are for any food or food product intended for human consumption and can add to your food budget to put healthy and nutritious food on the table.
If you are finding it difficult to afford the nutritious food that you and your family needs, the CalFresh Program may be able to help you.
The amount of benefits you can receive is dependent on your family size, countable income, and monthly expenses such as housing, utilities, and so forth.
All u.s. citizens or Legal Permanent Resident children may qualify to receive CalFresh benefits, regardless of where the parents were born.
Parents may also qualify for benefits if all other program guidelines are met.
Individuals with no children also may qualify.
The program issues monthly benefits that can be used to buy most foods at many markets and food stores.
These benefits are issued on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card which looks like any other credit card.
You do not have to be on welfare to get CalFresh benefits.
Eligibility for CalFresh assistance, as well as the benefit amount, is based on your households size and income level.
Benefits may not be used for items such as alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, or paper products.
Who is responsible to visit and inspect the Vaccination sites in Escondido? I just came from the CVS RX on Felicita and I have never seen a mote filthy vaccination sight or medical room even located outside. The floor had never been cleaned, the waste basket was overflowing they were putting trash in used syringe box, 2 black folding chairs that had never been disinfected. Cases of glove boxes stacked on one side of the SMALL room. No soap dispensers, or sanitizing wipes or spray in sight. What bothers me is what I couldn't see! If this is not your responsibility then who is responsible?
