CalWorks Payment October: People in California who depend on CalFresh are getting ready for their next payment as October starts. For budgeting grocery costs, it’s important to know when and how benefits will be given out.
CalFresh is the state’s version of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It helps low-income people and families buy healthy food by giving them money every month.
An Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card, is used to get benefits. People in California can use this card at many places that accept it, such as grocery stores, supermarkets, and farmers’ markets.
