CalFresh food benefits available to seniors and individuals with disabilities receiving SSI/SSP beginning June 1 [Porterville Recorder]

 

The CalFresh food program in Tulare County and statewide is expanding to serve qualifying individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) benefits beginning June 1. There is no change or reduction to SSI/SSP benefits.

“A tremendous change in legislation means we can now provide CalFresh benefits to SSI recipients for the first time,” states Vienna Barnes, deputy director, Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA), TulareWORKs. “The change helps individuals and families to stretch their budgets to buy nutritious food.”

People who receive SSI/SSP may apply online at www.getcalfresh.org or in person at a local County office any time after June 1. Locate a local County office at www.tchhsa.org or www.calfreshfood.org.
