Attention CalFresh Recipients
Your February 2019 CalFresh benefits may post to your EBT account early!
Due to the Federal Government shut-down, if your case is eligible to February 2019 CalFresh benefits
you may receive your benefits early. If you do not get your February CalFresh benefits early, and you
are still eligible to CalFresh, you will receive your February benefits on your regularly scheduled day
(the first ten days of February).
Please budget these CalFresh benefits carefully because your next monthly benefits will not be
available until March.
¡Sus benefi cios de Febrero 2019 de CalFresh pueden estar disponibles en su cuenta de EBT
temprano!
Debido al cierre del gobierno federal, si su caso es elegible para recibir benefi cios de CalFresh durante
el mes de febrero de 2019, usted podría recibir sus benefi cios temprano. Si no recibe sus benefi cios
de Febrero temprano y aun es elegible para CalFresh, usted recibirá sus benefi cios en el día que
regularmente los recibe (durante los primeros 10 días de Febrero).
Si recibe sus benefi cios de Febrero 2019 temprano, por favor de planear su presupuesto
cuidadosamente porque no recibirá sus benefi cios de Marzo hasta la fecha que le corresponde.

Warning - Phone/Text Scam Targeting EBT Cardholders:Some EBT cardholders are receiving an automated call or text asking them to provide personal information, including their 16-digit card number and PIN. EBT cardholders should never share their card number or PIN.
CalFresh, formerly known as Food Stamps, helps low-income people buy the food they need for good health. For most households, CalFresh benefits are only a part of their food budget. They must spend some of their own cash, along with their CalFresh Benefits, in order to buy enough food for the month.
Individuals and families may be eligible to receive CalFresh benefits, whether or not they work, if they have low income.
CalFresh benefits are given in the form of an Electronic Benefits (EBT) card, similar to a bank debit card.
Who Qualifies
Specific eligibility requirements take into account an applicant’s citizenship, income, and other factors. Generally, services are available to low income individuals and families who :

- Have lived in the U.S. for at least five (5) years, or
