CalFresh Student Eligibility: Verification Of Exemptions

Please see below for the link to the ACL that notifies County Welfare Departments (CWDs) that exemptions from the student eligibility rule are no longer mandatory verifications.

Effective immediately, CWDs must only require verification that a student meets an exemption when information provided by the household is questionable or when a student’s claim of physical or mental unfitness is not evident to the CWD.
