This week, as part of California’s CalFresh program, Americans can get a $1720 payment to help fight food insecurity in low-income homes. But what should you know? When will it be delivered to you?

California’s food aid program, CalFresh, gives low-income people and families money to buy wholesome food.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) of the federal government includes it. For qualified Californians, benefits are given out on a monthly basis and contribute to increased food security, better health, and overall wellbeing.

You can purchase a broad range of food goods with your CalFresh benefits, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, bread, cereals, and non-alcoholic beverages.

They cannot, however, be used to pay for non-food items including hygiene, hot prepared meals, alcohol, tobacco, vitamins, or supplements.

To access CalFresh benefits, a plastic card like a debit card is called an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card. Each month, money are deposited onto the card, which can then be used to purchase approved foods at participating establishments, such as supermarkets and select farmers’ markets.

At the point of sale, the user swipes their EBT card and inputs a PIN to approve the transaction.

The spent amount is then subtracted from the balance on the card. EBT card balances roll over from month to month if unused and can be used at participating retailers and markets.

Benefits for CalFresh (food) are distributed within the first ten days of each month, according to the final digit of your case number, which is available online at BenefitsCal or on official documentation.

On the day of their payment, 92% of people will have their benefits posted by midnight, so they will be available as soon as they get up.
