California Releases July 2024 CalFresh Payment: The distribution of CalFresh payments is avidly anticipated by California residents, as July has arrived. In order to effectively plan their grocery buying for the week, it is crucial for recipients to be aware of the precise timing and specifics of these payments.
CalFresh administers the federal Supplemental Nutrition help Program (SNAP) in California, providing monthly cash help to qualified low-income families. This aid is for healthy food purchases. At participating farmers’ markets and food stores, an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card works like a debit card.
The EBT card’s benefits are loaded over the first 10 days of each month based on the recipient’s case number’s final digit. Benefits are distributed on the first of each month if the recipient’s case number ends in “1.”
