Semi-Annual Reporting (SAR) Households

As a result of SB 79, California eliminated Change Reporting, and all CalFresh households became SAR households.

SAR 7 Report

Recipients are required to submit a Semi-Annual Eligibility/Status Report (SAR 7) once per year, which is due in the Submit Month (the sixth month of the semi-annual period).

The following information is required to be reported on the SAR 7 report:

  • All income received for the SAR Data Month (i.e., the fifth month of the semi-annual period),
  • Any changes in household composition or resources that occurred since the submission of their last SAR 7 or RC forms through the end of the Data Month.
  • Any change in income that the recipient anticipates will occur in the upcoming SAR Payment Period.

Refer to SAR 7 Processing [63-508.3] for detailed information.
