CalFresh September Schedule: This week, as part of California’s CalFresh program, Americans can get a $1720 payment to help fight food insecurity in low-income homes. But what should you know? When will it be delivered to you?
California’s food aid program, CalFresh, gives low-income people and families money to buy wholesome food. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) of the federal government includes it. For qualified Californians, benefits are given out on a monthly basis and contribute to increased food security, better health, and overall wellbeing.
September CalFresh Payment Schedule: What You Need to Know
With CalFresh benefits, you can buy a variety of food items like fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, bread, cereals, and non-alcoholic drinks. However, you can’t use them for non-food items like hygiene products, hot prepared meals, alcohol, tobacco, vitamins, or supplements.
CalFresh benefits are accessed through an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card, which works like a debit card. Each month, funds are added to the card, which you can use at participating stores, including some farmers’ markets. At checkout, you swipe your EBT card, enter a PIN, and the purchase amount is deducted from your balance. Unused funds roll over to the next month.
CalFresh benefits are distributed during the first ten days of each month, based on the last digit of your case number. You can find your case number on official documents or online at BenefitsCal.
