- Experiencing homelessness
- Over 60 years old
- Have a disability and be receiving Social Security Disability Benefits; Railroad Retirement Benefit Annuities; or Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)
Purchasing meals is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3
- Find a participating restaurant. Look for participating restaurants displaying the Restaurant Meals Program sign.
- Show your EBT card prior to ordering your meal so they can verify you are eligible.
- Purchase breakfast, lunch, or dinner from participating restaurants by using your EBT card.
- The restaurant will run your card, verify eligibility, and then you may enjoy your meal.
- Receive a receipt for each meal purchase to show the cost of your meal and the balance on your EBT CalFresh benefits account.
