加州放宽大学生 CalFresh 申请门槛 最高每月 306 美元买食品
加州州长办公室 10 月 9 日宣布，加州社区学院、加州州立大学和加州大学的本科生，只要就读学位项目，就可满足 CalFresh 的初步申请条件。符合财务资格的学生，最高可获得每月 306 美元用于购买食品和杂货。
州府说明，这项调整不是新增福利，而是减少原本繁琐的证明门槛，让符合资格的半日制以上副学士或学士学生更容易申请。加州预计将有超过 20 万名额外学生加入 CalFresh，并同步推出面向学生的宣传活动。（资料来源：加州州长办公室）
California Eases CalFresh Access for College Students, Up to $306 a Month
California announced on October 9 that undergraduate students enrolled in degree programs at community colleges, California State University or the University of California now meet the initial application requirements for CalFresh. Financially eligible students may receive up to $306 a month for food and groceries.
The state said the change does not create a new benefit; it removes barriers that kept eligible at-least-half-time associate and bachelor's degree students from applying. California expects more than 200,000 additional eligible students to enroll, supported by a new student outreach campaign. (Source: Office of the Governor of California)
