Welcome to the CalFresh Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) Intake Form!

The RMP is a program that allows eligible CalFresh households to use their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to purchase prepared meals at participating restaurants. This includes households comprised of only the following members:

• Adults aged 60 or older (and their spouse);
• People with a disability (and their spouse); or
• Individuals experiencing homelessness.

How It Works:

Your restaurant’s participation in the RMP requires approval from both the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and the United States Department of Agriculture - Food and Nutrition Service (USDA-FNS). Once you submit this Intake Form, we at CDSS will review your submission. If approved, we will email the restaurant owner an RMP contract to sign; if denied, we will notify you by email. Once you have a signed RMP contract, you will then use that contract to apply with USDA-FNS, per instructions at http://www.cdss.ca.gov/RMP/partners.
