Angela Shing, former director of Santa Clara County’s department of employment and benefit services, which oversees CalFresh for the county: “The majority of people who are on benefits, generally speaking, are the elderly and children. Most people who are on benefits are working, and working more than one job. A lot of people don’t realize that. With a shutdown like this, it comes down to choices like, ‘Can I pay the rent? Or can I scrap together putting food on the table?’”
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service, which oversees the federal benefit program, did not respond to a request for comment.

California issues about $1.1 billion in CalFresh benefits every month. Though benefits for October have already been distributed, those who applied to the program between Oct. 16 through Oct. 31 would not receive assistance for the second-half of the month, as well as November.
