Description

CalFresh (food stamps) puts money on an EBT card for groceries. You do not need a mailing address or ID documents in hand to start — apply with your name, address (a shelter or general delivery is OK), and signature, and ask about expedited benefits if you have little or no money (DPSS tries to issue them the same day). Applications are processed within 30 days. The same phone line and website also handle Medi-Cal health coverage, General Relief cash aid for adults with no income, and CalWORKs for families.
