The California Dept. of Social Services has announced new rules that allow for the immediate renovation of food stamp benefits. Previously, if a household’s benefits were terminated for failing to comply with a requirement, they were required to start the process over by re-applying. Restoration of benefits will be automatic if the household can comply with the program requirements within one month of termination and thereby avoid the re-application process.
