It is now called CalFresh. The benefits haven’t been distributed as “stamps” for years—these benefits help low-income people buy the food needed for good health by way of a debit card that can only be used to buy food items. The purpose of CalFresh is to provide food assistance to end hunger, improve nutrition, and increase health, and the new name is meant to reflect the fact that these benefits are a resource to help low-income families and individuals put healthy meals on their table.
