Is it easy to get food stamps? People keep telling me to take advantage of it but i really don't need it 🤔

No it's definitely called. CAL FRESH in all of California... You can apply for it if your income is in the range.. You can aslo apply for cash Aid if needed... Just go to your medi-cal office and apply... They'll help with the paper work and get you a worker....

yup then she was wrong lol but then again she was a trainee she was new haha

@sandee_gianna805, lol

haha maybe shes wrong but just give it a try :)

well over here it is lol thats what my social worker said maybe its different in some places so im going by what she said lmao.. and thats what it said on the booklet they gave me

Oh ok thanks 👍🏻 @mommakaz

yeah. food stamps is what you'll be applying for, not the cash assistance or general assistance.

Oh ok bc they told me to just get the food stamps to not ask for $$$ thats what ur talking about right @mommakaz

it's called SNAP here in NM.

also food stamps ISN'T wic js. @sandee_gianna805

Its not even called food stamps now its called cal fresh here in los angeles ca @sandee_gianna805

Yup. I didn't apply for the general assistance, which is on your ebt card too and you can use it on anything besides tobacco and alcohol obviously. lol I didn't apply because I didn't need it, but I hear that isn't too difficult to apply for either

Where i live food stamps is not WIC. Lol @sandee_gianna805

Yes thats what im talking about too. Wows $200 😍 lol and do you have to use it on groceries @mommakaz

well its called cash aid thats when they give you the ebt card lol food stamps is WIC ...but yeah it all depends on your income since i was making to much before i got laid off so now i have to go back once the baby is born ..idk about where you live but you do go thru a long process i went thru 2 interviews for that it took me 2 weeks but it could be different where you are

I'm talking about food stamps, not wic. and allot of people drag the process on. I was on the ball, it only took 5 days total. it depends on your income and expenses plus your dependents. I qualify for 200$, which I can buy baby food with also. good luck!

Yes thats what food stamps are right lol @sandee_gianna805

process

oh the cash aid you mean the ebt card ..thats a little hard to get i only qualified for 16 dollars but it also helps alot and its a long procesd

Thanks ima try it online@mommakaz

I already have WIC but food stamps is something else @sandee_gianna805

just a photo of proof of residency if it doesn't match the one on your license/ID, like a utility bill for instance. A photo of your license/ID, your proof of pregnancy or since your Lil one is already here, their birth certificate, and I think your social security cards. It says what you need once you're almost done with the sign up process. every state is different. but it was really easy.

i got WIC a week ago and that same day they gave me the checks and honestly it helped alot ... i bought fruits and veggies worth at least 70 bucks of it i only paid 13 dollars and then i got cheese, 3 gallons of milk, cereal,yogurt, peanut butter, beans, 2 apple juices and didnt have to pay anything for those i would totally take advantage girl its a huge saving plus youll get formula for your baby to

What kind of photos of u dont mind me asking @mommakaz

I didn't need it either. but it does come in helpful. It's actually super easy for pregnant women or women with kids. idk how it works there, but I applied online and sent photos of what they needed. Was approved and got my card in 4 days.

at first I didn't need it buhh it helps a lot
