CalFresh can cover hot prepared foods

The law requires California to maximize food choices for CalFresh users. You can use CalFresh to buy hot, ready-to-eat foods that federal rules allow. The Department of Social Services updates rules so approved stores can accept CalFresh for these hot items. This is done under federal SNAP law.
