What is LPIE (AB 396)?
LPIE stands for Local Programs that Increase Employability. This initiative is meant
to expand upon current employability program exemptions and give universities the
opportunity to submit additional programs to increase the eligibility of college students.
Current Approved LPIE List
When will LPIE be implemented?
The CSUSM Program was approved on the LPIE list on November 1, 2022. Those programs
can be used for students' CalFresh applications that same day.
Students are encouraged to apply if they were not eligible before. Check if your program is listed under LPIE.
