CalFresh Recertification Deadline Approaching: CalFresh, an assistance program administered by the California Department of Social Services, provides families and individuals in the state of California with continuous access to essential nutritional assistance.
In light of the impending CalFresh recertification deadline in April 2024, it is imperative that participants in the benefits program maintain access to food stamps.
In order to maintain CalFresh benefits, recertification is a crucial requirement. To do so, applicants must complete an interview and submit a recertification application prior to the conclusion of the current certification period.
All recipients are required to recertify; the process continually verifies your eligibility for the program in the event that your life circumstances have changed since you submitted your application.
Therefore, continuing to complete the recertification application and interview prior to the expiration of the period is crucial. Numerous counties offer online submission options to increase convenience and make it easier for participants to complete requirements in a timely and efficient manner.

What is the CalFresh recertification period?
CalFresh recertification ends on the fifth day of the final month of the first certification period. If your certification period ends in May 2024, you must submit a recertification application by May 5, 2024, to maintain eligibility.
California CalFresh benefits vary by household status and circumstances. Most households can get benefits for 12 months before reapplying. However, households with elderly or incapacitated members may qualify for 24- or 36-month certification extensions, depending on income.
California had time constraints on CalFresh benefits. Changes in federal and state laws have removed these restrictions, ensuring continuous aid for qualified families and individuals.
The recertification application requires accurate information, understanding of rights and obligations, and electronic transmission of the signed form to the County via in-person consultation, postal service, facsimile, or online submission.
