⚠️ Big CalFresh changes start this September — and they could affect your benefits.
If you’re 18–64, or your youngest child is 14 or older, new work requirements may apply to you. That means 80 hours a month of work, training, or volunteering — and reporting it by the 10th of every month.
Miss the requirement, and benefits can stop after 3 months.
Swipe through for: ✅ Who’s affected ✅ What counts toward your 80 hours ✅ Exemptions you may qualify for ✅ Key reporting deadlines
💛 Volunteering with DCP counts — and we’ll provide the verification form and you need.
