From December 1 to December 10, the State of California sends out CalFresh checks. This is not the only state sending out SNAP funds right now. South Carolina, Oklahoma, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Nevada are some of the others.
In fact, the CalFresh case number has something to do with how California handles SNAP payments. The last number on your Food Stamps number must be 1. If it is, you will start getting benefits on December 1.
From December 2 to December 10, who can get CalFresh (SNAP)?
If you want to get SNAP benefits on December 2, your case number must end in 2. It makes sense, so if you know the number where your case stops, it’s easy to figure out when your next CalFresh payment will arrive.
People in California whose CalFresh number finishes in 3 will get their benefits on December 3, 2024. So, if yours ends in 4, you will start getting monthly payments on December 4, 2024.
And as you might have guessed, the people whose SNAP case numbers end in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0 will get money on December 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
CalFresh payment amounts for people who get SNAP
Should you be a single person, the most your CalFresh check can be is $292. The USDA will give up to $536 to a couple or family of two. In California, a family of three can get up to $768.
Remember that people in California who are qualified for Food Stamps can get up to $975 a month. A weekly payment of up to $1,158 can be given to families of five. If you are 6, though, it could be up to $1,390.
The biggest amount that will be given is up to $1,756 for a family of eight, but there is an extra payment of $220 for every extra family member. SNAP works with other benefits, like SSI or Social Security (retired or SSDI), so apply to get food stamps and save money on this important cost.
