The United States Department of Agriculture has granted a CalFresh time limit waiver for Colusa, Imperial and Tulare Counties from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026. This waiver was approved based on each of these counties having an average unemployment rate over 10 percent from July, 2024 to July, 2025.
Colusa, Imperial and Tulare Counties must remain ready to implement the time limit when the waiver expires. These counties must identify clients subject to the time limit; screen for exemptions; inform clients of the time limit and work rules; and track work registration, time limit, and Employment and Training data.
