The largest food assistance program in the state of California, CalFresh, will begin depositing its payouts for the month of July 2025 beginning Monday, July 1, in accordance with its customary schedule.
This program, which is known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at the federal level, offers cash assistance on a monthly basis to assist families and people with low incomes in purchasing nutritious food.
The SNAP benefits are deposited at what time?
The EBT deposit guidance provided by Propel states that CalFresh benefits are distributed within the first ten days of the month, with the timing of the distribution being determined by the final digit of the recipient’s case number. In the event that the final digit of the case number is 1, for instance, the date of the deposit will be July 1st, and so on and so forth up until the number 10.
- July 1
- July 2
- July 3
- July 4
- July 5
- July 6
- July 7
- July 8
- July 9
- July 10
If the beneficiary has an active account with BenefitsCal, the case number can be located on the majority of the documents that are issued by the county or online through the portal they use to access BenefitsCal.
At what moment do the benefits become available?
In accordance with the findings of an analysis conducted by Propel, a company that caters to millions of consumers in the state of California, about 92% of deposits are loaded at midnight on the day that is planned using the case number. However, if the money do not appear immediately, it is recommended that you wait a few hours before contacting the county. This is because the benefits may arrive later on the same day in some instances.
It is possible that there is a problem with the case of the beneficiary if the benefits are not reflected on the predicted date. In situations like this, the most prevalent causes could be the expiration of the eligibility period, the delayed submission of paperwork, or faults in the system. It is strongly recommended that recipients get in touch with their county office immediately in order to receive assistance.
What kinds of things can you purchase with CalFresh?
For the purpose of purchasing food at grocery shops, farmer’s markets, and other establishments that accept this form of payment, benefits are loaded onto an EBT card, which can then be used to make financial transactions. Products such as fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, breads, and other foods that are high in nutrients are eligible for inclusion. It is not possible to purchase non-food items such as cleaning supplies, alcoholic beverages, or tobacco products.
