CalFresh, California’s variant of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), plays an important role in providing nutritional assistance to low-income households throughout the state.
For the 2,965,170 households currently receiving SNAP benefits or Food Stamps in California, knowing when your benefits will be deposited onto your EBT card is a crucial aspect of financial planning.
Having knowledge of the payment schedule enables you to effectively budget and maximize your assistance.
Understanding when and how much CalFresh benefits you will receive in October 2023 is essential for effective budgeting. In this post, we will outline the main aspects of the forthcoming month’s CalFresh payments.
CalFresh Basics: A quick overview
While SNAP benefits are typically issued on a monthly basis, payment schedules can vary by state. A household’s CalFresh benefits are proportional to its size and monthly net income after allowable deductions.
In addition, households with minor children who satisfy the federal TANF employment requirements are eligible for supplemental WINS benefits.
Calculating benefits requires deducting 30% of the household’s net income from the utmost amount for the household’s size.
