Information About the Federal Shutdown's Impact on CalFresh

Upcoming Federal Changes to CalFresh and Medi-Cal Under H.R. 1: On July 4th, 2025, President Trump signed a new law, H.R. 1, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. This law will reduce who is eligible for and how much money some people will get through the CalFresh program. California is waiting for federal guidance before we make any changes. This law also changes who qualifies for Medi-Cal and what services are covered. Your county will let you know if and when these changes affect you.

For more information, visit the CalFresh H.R. 1 FAQs or the Medi-Cal H.R. 1 FAQs: coming soon.
