“The day the so-called “great, big, beautiful bill” passed, I downloaded it on my phone and combed through it to see how it would impact my clients and my coworkers. I was heartbroken because I instantly knew how the new requirements would impact my specific clients. For example, a typical redetermination interview takes about an hour. But now, thanks to changing rules, like for able-bodied adults without dependents, and work requirements, and which non-citizens are still eligible for CalFresh, interviews will likely take about twice as long.”
