The amount of time CalFresh benefits are available on EBT cards if the card is not being used is changing. CalFresh Benefits will now be removed from the card after 9 months of not being used, which is a reduction from the previous timeframe of 12 months.
This means if clients do not have any debit activity on their EBT card within 9 months, those benefits will no longer be available and cannot be reinstated (but does not affect eligibility for future benefits). You can read more in the All County Letter here.
