SNAP/CalFresh Update: Changes in Who Qualifies

Due to new federal policy effective 11/1/25 only households with a senior of 60+ or a person with a disability will automatically qualify for the Standard Utility Allowance (SUA), which helps increase monthly food benefits. Other households may see reduced benefits or lose eligibility at their next recertification. For questions contact your county CalFresh office or call 1-877-847-3663.
