Residents of California are currently waiting for the February CalFresh payments, which are part of the state’s implementation of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps.
This program provides monthly benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families to help them buy healthy food. We are already in the last week of January.
These benefits are sent out using an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card at grocery stores and farmers markets that are part of the program.
The case number that is assigned to each CalFresh participant is utilized to establish the particular day within the first 10 days of each month when benefits are loaded onto the EBT card.
The payment date is determined by the final digit of the case number. For instance, if the case number ends with the digit ‘1’, benefits will be accessible on the first day of the month.
How to receive CalFresh payments?
To apply for CalFresh benefits, go to the Get CalFresh website and fill out the online application. In a few weeks, the county where you live will reach out to you to schedule an interview to determine your eligibility.
You will get an EBT card within ten days if your application is approved.
To find out when your next CalFresh payment will be and how much you still owe, click into the Benefits Cal app.
You can also get support by calling the CalFresh helpline at 1-877-847-3663 or by going to your local CDSS office.

Payments from CalFresh in February
In California, the CalFresh benefit distribution dates are based on the recipient’s case number.
This means that the benefits are distributed in order throughout the first ten days of each month.
According to an analysis of data from some of the 5 million users who check their balance on the Propel app each month, it is estimated that about 92% of residents in California receive their benefits at midnight.
Most of the time, you may anticipate to receive your benefits at midnight.
However, if they have not been loaded on your normal day, it could be a good idea to wait and see if they arrive later that day before contacting your county.
