How California decides your SNAP date
California Department of Social Services spreads SNAP deposits across the month. Your date is set by the last digit of your CalFresh case number, and it stays the same every month. Use your case number from your county notice, not your EBT card number.
When this table may not apply to you
Los Angeles County uses its own schedule, which we have not been able to verify from an official source yet. If you live in LA County, check your notice or call your county office.
Do California SNAP benefits arrive on weekends and holidays?
Yes. According to the state: "Benefits are available on weekends and holidays." Unlike Social Security and SSI, SNAP benefits do not move to an earlier business day.
