Low-income families and individuals in California can get much-needed assistance with food costs through the supplemental nutrition aid program CalFresh.
Monthly benefits are disbursed to eligible members via an EBT card that can be used at supermarkets and farmer’s markets across the state.
November is quickly approaching, and many CalFresh recipients are wondering when they will receive their payments.
November 2024 payment schedule
In California, the distribution of CalFresh cash is determined by the last digit of the recipient’s case number. Payments are typically due between the 1st and 10th of each month. The November schedule is as follows:
| Case Number Ends In | Payment Issued On |
| 0 | November 1 |
| 1 | 02-11 |
| 2 | November 3 |
| 3 | November 4 |
| 4 | November 5 |
| 5 | November 6 |
| 6 | November 7 |
| 7 | November 8 |
| 8 | November 9 |
| 9 | November 10 |
After the planned payment date, beneficiaries need to check their EBT balance because money are often available by 6 a.m. on that day.
Also, if you have any issues with your EBT card or payment, you must contact the California Department of Social Services or your county office immediately.
As the holidays approach, many CalFresh participants need to carefully distribute their payments to cover the additional costs of festivals and gatherings.
Being informed of the payment schedule allows beneficiaries to make suitable planning and ensure they have the finances needed for nutritious meals throughout November.
