Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, CalFresh benefits may not be available in November. Funding is currently secured through October 2025. At this time, CalWORKs and Medi-Cal benefits are not expected to be impacted. However, if the federal shutdown continues, delays may occur.

San Bernardino County’s Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) is actively preparing to assist residents and keep the community informed throughout this uncertain period.

If benefits will not be available, affected participants will receive a formal notification later this month. Receiving this notification does not mean a case is closed or that eligibility has ended. Participants are encouraged to continue meeting all mandatory reporting requirements, including submitting SAR 7 Eligibility Status Reports and completing renewals on time to ensure benefits can continue promptly when funding resumes.

The Transitional Assistance Department is working closely with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to ensure San Bernardino County residents receive timely and accurate information. The department is also preparing to assist customers who may have questions and will provide updates through county websites, social media and local offices as new information becomes available.

“The Transitional Assistance Department understands how essential CalFresh benefits are for families and individuals across San Bernardino County,” said Director James LoCurto. “We remain committed to providing clear, up-to-date information and assisting our residents throughout this period of uncertainty.”
