CDSS has issued several directives regarding CalFresh for victims of the Northern California fires. These directives include issuance of mass replacement benefits, statewide access to CalFresh (and CalWORKs) services statewide, allowing purchase of hot food with CalFresh benefits and waiver of timely reporting requirements.
California has been approved to issue Disaster CalFresh. Current CalFresh recipients can request supplemental disaster benefits. New applicants affected by the disaster can be eligible for Disaster CalFresh if the household lived in the disaster area at the time of the disaster, and experienced either damage to their home or self-employment property, disaster-related expenses, disruption in income or inaccessible liquid resources.
CDSS also has links to the application for disaster CalFresh and the affidavit form for issuance of replacement CalFresh. Disaster CalFresh, October 2017.
