CalFresh Payment Schedule: What You Need to Know

CalFresh, California's version of SNAP, aids low-income families with healthy food purchases through an EBT card, providing financial assistance through stores and markets.

CalFresh Payment Schedule: Californians who get CalFresh are looking forward to their next payment as the new month approaches. CalFresh is the state’s version of SNAP, which is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It helps people and families with low incomes buy healthy food. These benefits are given out through an EBT card, which can be used like a debit card at stores and markets that accept it.

The date of payment is based on the last number of the recipient’s case number. EBT cards get benefits loaded on them during the first ten days of every month, on the date that matches the case’s last digit.
