Many people are enrolled in the CalFresh program in California, which is the program that helps families with food stamps.
This is one of the most popular help programs because it is a relief for many citizens to be able to buy healthy food without having to spend all their money for the month.

Today there is a long list of eligibility criteria to be able to enroll in CalFresh, but it is important to know that it will be necessary to update the benefit at some point.
When does the CalFresh benefit need to be renewed in November 2023 in California? Here’s how.
This will be the deadline for renewing CalFresh benefits
The government website explains what you need to do to keep your CalFresh coupon benefits. It reports that a new application must be completed by November 15, the end of the certification period.
If you don’t know when your certification period ends, you should know that most people in the CalFresh program have a 12-month certification period.
For some households with seniors or people with disabilities, the certification period grows to 24 months.
In either case, a CalFresh recertification notice must be gotten from the local government. This notice will remind you that your certification period is ending.
How do I recertify CalFresh?
In order to renew the CalFresh benefit, it will be necessary to go through a new documentation submission process.
In most states, it is possible to do this recertification online without having to travel. You will only need to log in to the BenefitsCal portal.
Once on the website, just look for the ‘Document Center‘. This will be the place to upload and store any documents you need as evidence to prove that you should continue to get CalFresh benefits.
Once you have uploaded the document to BenefitsCal, you will get a confirmation message that includes the date and time of submission, the number and other details about your profile.
