Some 13,000 lawful noncitizens, including refugees and asylum seekers, are losing their CalFresh benefits in San Diego, according to the San Diego Food Bank.
The April 1 changes only impact a fraction of the approximately 400,000 San Diegans enrolled in CalFresh. However, on June 1, the CEO of the San Diego Food Bank, Casey Castillo, said about 100,000 people will see their work requirements change in order to keep receiving their benefits.

The chair of the County Board of Supervisors, Terra Lawson-Remer, said the county has been preparing for these imminent changes by loosening access to reserve funds and securing a partnership with the San Diego Foundation.
