apparently i have a phone interview with calfresh almost exactly a month from now
hopefully it's not "we're taking away your benefits because you're not working & we don't believe you're actually disabled until you get your disability approved" cuz that would suck
hopefully it's just routine stuff

Arcata House Partnership warns winter shelter demand will outpace funding after CalFresh cuts
Arcata House Partnership told the council it served hundreds last winter — 652 people at the warming center, 764 bed nights in overnight shelter and 428 hotel rooms paid by grants — and warned reduced CalFresh support threatens food service for the coming season. The group asked for continued city support, volunteers and donated supplies.

CalFresh just posted an annual $20.01 cash subsidy to our EBT for a utility credit. Umm.. thanks for trying, but maybe lawmakers could check their own utility payments per month and see how much $20 helps.

It's not JUST that I got cut. It's that they're now bragging about the money they said they "didn't have". You don't get to brag about how well your economy is doing AND claim "there was nothing we could do!" They COULD have expanded the budget for CalFresh. And choose not to.

"Adults aged 18 to 64 who do not live with a child under age 14 must work, volunteer, or participate in job training or school for at least 20 hours a week."

Sometimes good things happen: I just learned I've been reinstated on CalFresh, and my EBT card has been reloaded. Why? Unclear! Rather than ABAWD, I think it might have just been a paperwork lag--there's no way they have enough staff to deal with it all--but whatever the reason, I'll take the win.
