加州重启 CalFresh 果蔬补贴试点：每月最高60美元等额补贴 州预算再拨2,000万美元
加州社会服务厅（CDSS）的 CalFresh 果蔬电子福利试点项目已于10月1日重启：受助家庭在参与商户或农贸市场使用 EBT 卡购买新鲜果蔬，可获得一比一等额的额外食品福利，每户每月最高60美元，所获福利可在任何接受 CalFresh 的零售商处购买合资格食品，不削减家庭原有的 CalFresh 额度，参与者无需另行申请。
该试点曾于6月底因资金接近耗尽暂停。加州2026—27年度预算为项目再拨2,000万美元一次性资金，试点得以恢复；据此前公布的运行数据，项目在5月单月服务95,520户家庭、发放超过500万美元福利。社会服务厅表示，项目将运行至资金用完为止，目前未公布确切的结束日期。
CalFresh 是联邦补充营养援助计划在加州的名称，由各县具体经办，帮助低收入居民购买食品；果蔬试点旨在在基本福利之外，提高受助家庭购买新鲜农产品的购买力。
California Restarts $60-a-Month CalFresh Produce Benefit With $20 Million in State Budget Funding
The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable EBT Pilot Project resumed on October 1, giving participating households a dollar-for-dollar match on qualifying fresh fruit and vegetable purchases — up to $60 per household each month. Benefits are earned automatically when an eligible CalFresh customer buys qualifying produce at a participating grocery store or farmers market with an EBT card, can be spent on eligible groceries at any CalFresh retailer, do not reduce the household's regular allotment, and require no separate application.
The pilot had paused at the end of June as funding ran out. California's 2026-27 budget provided another $20 million in one-time funding, allowing the restart. Program figures reported earlier this year showed the pilot served 95,520 households in May alone and distributed more than $5 million in benefits that month. CDSS says the program will operate for as long as funding remains available and has not announced a specific end date.
CalFresh is California's name for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, administered by counties to help low-income residents buy food; the produce pilot is designed to stretch recipients' purchasing power for fresh fruits and vegetables beyond the basic benefit.
