California AB936 proposes a pilot program to provide supplemental benefits for fresh fruits and vegetables to CalFresh recipients.

California AB936 establishes a pilot program to test and refine a mechanism for delivering supplemental benefits to CalFresh recipients for fresh fruits and vegetables. The program aims to increase the purchase and consumption of fresh produce among CalFresh beneficiaries. The Department of Social Services will award grants to nonprofit organizations or government agencies to implement and test the supplemental benefits mechanism in existing retail settings. The pilot program will run until January 1, 2027, and will be evaluated to provide recommendations for further refinement and expansion.
