Due to the Green Fire, the Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has gained approval to waive a 10-day deadline for CalFresh clients to request replacement benefits. These lost CalFresh benefits can be a result of wildfires and power outages due to the Green Fire that began July 1, 2025, or due to some other disaster.
Any household that has lost food purchased with CalFresh benefits will have through July 30, 2025, to request replacement benefits. The extension period applies to all households in the county who request food-loss replacement benefits for any reason, including other disasters.
If any CalFresh household was denied replacement benefits from July 11, 2025, through July 30, 2025, the household can request an evaluation of their application for replacement benefits.
Benefit replacement can be requested in person at a regional office, by calling HHSA’s Customer Service Center at (877) 652-0731, or online through BenefitsCal.com.
For in-person service, customers may visit the offices below, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday:
• Anderson, 2889 E. Center St., Anderson, CA 96007
• South Redding, 2460 Breslauer Way, Redding, CA 96001
