GetCalFresh is a service delivered by Code for America on behalf of the people of California, providing plain-language guidance to help Californians understand and navigate CalFresh (SNAP) food benefits. Since California's statewide move to BenefitsCal.com on the CalSAWS platform, GetCalFresh.org no longer accepts applications directly - it is an informational and guidance site that hands off to BenefitsCal and county agencies for eligibility determination and case processing. No public developer API is documented; historically, before BenefitsCal existed, Code for America's application tooling submitted CalFresh applications to county systems via generated PDF forms, fax, and secure email rather than a documented API.
