COVID-19 Updates
CalFresh Eligibility Update
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, temporarily expands CalFresh (SNAP) eligibility to include students enrolled in at least half-time (6 units for undergraduate, 3 units for graduate students) in a higher education institution, who either:
1. Are eligible to participate in state or federally financed work-study during the
academic year, as determined by the institution or
2. Have an expected family contribution (EFC) of $0 in the current academic year.
Students are encouraged to apply if they were not eligible before. Students can find
their EFC by going to their FAFSA portal and following these instructions:
1. Login using your FSA ID at fafsa.ed.gov
2. Click on "View or Print your Student Aid Report (SAR)"
3. There will be a white box at the top, displaying your EFC in the second column.
