California AB2309 ensures CalFresh benefits continue for existing recipients during federal funding lapses.

California AB2309, the CalFresh Protection Act, mandates the State Department of Social Services to use state funds to maintain CalFresh benefits for existing recipients if federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is interrupted. This act defines a "federal funding lapse" as any period where federal funds are insufficient to cover SNAP benefits for eligible California households. The benefits will be issued at the same monthly allotment level as before the lapse.
