New Round of CalFresh Food Stamps Checks to Arrive in Less Than Two Weeks

Hundreds of thousands of Californians depend every month on the funds provided by the CalFresh program, the name given to the SNAP benefits program in the state, and that is why knowing exactly when their money will arrive is decisive for them to organize their family budgets.

By this time of the month, the payment schedule for April has already ended, but we can already be projecting and analyzing when families will receive their food stamps deposits on the EBT card in the month of May 2024.

When’s My CalFresh Deposit Arriving Next Month?

CalFresh benefits in California are charged to EBT cards during the first ten days of each month, with the exact date depending on the last digit of each beneficiary’s case number.

During this week, those whose case numbers end in the digits 1 to 7 will be able to use the funds from their EBT cards in the first week of May. On the other hand, those who have the digits 8, 9 or 0 will have to wait until May 8 or 10 for the funds to be credited to their cards.

As for when food stamps appear on the EBT card in California, according to information from SavingAdvice.com, these benefits, along with the cash benefits, are usually deposited between midnight and 20:00 hours on the scheduled deposit date.

Anyway, the exact time when your money could be seen in your EBT card could vary, not only in California but also in the rest of the US states and territories where the SNAP benefits program works.

In other states such as Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia and Hawaii, EBT benefits are credited at 23:59 hours (local time). Meanwhile, in Alaska, Delaware, Florida and Georgia, these benefits are deposited at 06:00 hours. But, we recommend you to ask in your local CalFresh office to ask about your money’s expected arrival time.

The deposit schedule for CalFresh beneficiaries, in May 2024, will be as follows:
