Will applying for CalFresh affect my financial aid?
No.
Does my financial aid count as income?
No, your caseworker takes your financial aid into account.
Can I apply to CalFresh if my parents claim me as a dependent?
Yes, the CalFresh program defines a household as the number of people you regularly cook and eat food with.
Can I apply to CalFresh if I live on the Hill?
No, receiving meal swipes on the Hill makes students ineligible for the program.
Can I apply to CalFresh if I live with my parents?
Students under 22 and living with parents must apply together. If over 22, students can apply alone as long as they regularly purchase food by themselves.
