Step 1 of 3: Tell us about your household. We'll show your eligibility estimate next, and you only pay if you decide to proceed.

Full legal name *

Date of birth *

Home address *

ZIP code *

We use this to mail your application to the right county office.

How many people in your household? *

Count yourself, your spouse, children under 22 living with you, and anyone you regularly buy and prepare food with.

Total monthly gross income (before taxes) *

Monthly rent or mortgage *

If you own, include mortgage + property tax + homeowner's insurance.

Do you pay utilities (heat, electric, water) separately from rent? *

California gives a flat allowance for utility costs. Most renters pay at least one utility separately.

Anyone in the household 60+ or has a disability? *

Citizenship or immigration status *

CalFresh is available to US citizens and to most lawful permanent residents. We use this to confirm your eligibility — your status is not shared with immigration authorities.

You'll only pay if your eligibility looks good. Price for this application: $35.
