Episode Details

Starting April 1st, tens of thousands of humanitarian immigrants in California lose CalFresh food benefits due to Trumps spending bill. About 72,000 people statewide, including over 5,000 in Alameda County, will be affected. Current enrollees keep benefits until recertification, but new applicants will be denied. Stricter utility cost rules and new work requirements are also in effect. Advocates warn this creates fear and chills immigrants from seeking help. Some can switch to the California Food Assistance Program, and WIC remains open for women, infants, and kids. Food banks serve everyone, no status checks needed. Check BenefitsCal dot com for recertification dates or call 877-847-3663 for questions. Advocates push for broader CFAP access to shield communities long-term.
