CalFresh Eligibility Expansion Coming in June
The California Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection (CAL FIRE) are planning a prescribed burn in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park between May 13 and 31, 2019. This burn is part of a forest health and recovery program including vegetation management, hazardous fuel load reduction, wildlife habitat improvement, and other ecological benefits. This treatment will enhance the health of the forest by restoring essential nutrients to the soil and reducing the chance of a catastrophic wildfire. The prescribed burn is being planned and coordinated with the San Diego Air Pollution Control District in order to minimize the smoke impacts on surrounding communities. All burning depends on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal. If the conditions, such as weather or vegetation are not conducive for burning, the burn will be rescheduled. Some public trails near the burn area may be closed the day of the burn. People traveling near the fire burn areas may see smoke from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day of the burn. In the unlikely event you smell smoke, County officials urge you to take precautions and use common sense to reduce any harmful health effects by limiting outdoor activities. Prescribed burns produce significantly less smoke than a wildfire does. If you see or smell smoke in your surroundings, officials recommend avoiding strenuous outdoor activity and remaining indoors as much as possible. These precautions are especially important for children, the elderly and people with respiratory and heart conditions. Please use extreme caution while driving near prescribed fire operations due to fire personnel and equipment in the area.

Starting in June 2019, the CalFresh program will allow many seniors and people with disabilities receiving SSI/SSP to participate and have access to nutritious food. CalFresh is designed to reduce food insecurity and increase food budgets, improving participants’ access to fresh and healthy food. May is CalFresh Awareness Month. During the month, the San Diego County Health & Human Services Agency, community partners and food advocates throughout our county are working together to increase awareness about CalFresh and highlight these important changes to SSI/SSP (Supplemental Security Income/ State Supplementary Payment) recipients. The California Department of Social Services says most SSI recipients and couples living on their own will be newly eligible for CalFresh. Most SSI/SSP recipients will need to apply for CalFresh, either on the phone, online or in person. Receiving CalFresh will not reduce or eliminate someone’s SSI/SSP benefits according to the California Department of Social Services. Several community events are scheduled around the county where people can receive free screenings and application assistance for CalFresh. For more information and to find a community event near you visit the County’s CalFresh page. Residents can apply for CalFresh online at GetCalFresh. org and MyBenefitsCalWIN.org, or by calling 2-1-1.
