what is irt for calfresh

IRT stands for Income Reporting Threshold, which is the income level that a household must fall below to receive CalFresh benefits. The IRT limit is based on the household size, and the county provides updated IRT limits each year. If a households gross monthly income exceeds the IRT amount, they must report this change in their gross income to the Human Services Agency within 10 days. The IRT is also used for semi-annual reporting, where a household must provide a report about their income, assets, and household every 6 months to continue receiving CalFresh benefits.
