Show Notes
Thousands of legal immigrants in California, including refugees and asylees, face losing their CalFresh food benefits due to a federal law in H.R. one. This bill, passed last year, cuts eligibility for noncitizens, leaving many families scrambling for food. While current recipients keep benefits until renewal, the change squeezes an already tight group, as undocumented immigrants were never eligible. State officials note that some might qualify again if they become lawful permanent residents later.
