You can submit your documents on BenefitsCal

BenefitsCal is California’s official website for food benefits.

You’ll need one of the following:

  • A 7-character CalFresh case number (it may include letters and numbers) or
  • An 8-digit application number.

You can find your 7-character case number on your county letters or EBT card.

You can find your 7-character CalFresh case number on the front or back of your EBT card under your name.

Remember:
  • Always skip the first two characters. The next 7 characters are your case number.
  • Your case number may include both letters and numbers.

If your card looks like this, your case number is the last 7 characters.
