How to Apply for Food Stamps in California (How to Apply for CalFresh)



In the state of California, Food Stamps benefits are known as CalFresh.  If you need to apply for CalFresh you should know that each county has its own method for application. 

Some counties will allow you to apply for CalFresh over the Internet, and other counties still require you to print out an application and take it to your local county office.  Many California counties will allow you to apply for food stamps (CalFresh) via the C4Yourself Internet portal.

In each situation, the application process starts at BenefitsCal.org.  Once you enter the system and choose your county, you will be shown the correct process for how to apply for CalFresh in your area. 

I have put together a video to show you the correct steps.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment.

Good Luck to You!

  1. Hey Rachelle - i'm curious which counties still make you print an application. The three choices should be C4Yourself, Benefits CalWIN, and the LA County system. Great website - its an excellent resource for the interwebz.
