California’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will send the first payment for September, worth up to $1,691, to residents in six days.
CalFresh benefits, known federally as SNAP benefits, start on the first of the month and run through Sept. 10. Payments will be distributed depending on the recipient’s case number. For example, if a case number ends in 1, California recipients can expect to see their CalFresh benefits on Aug. 1. If a case number ends in 2, CalFresh benefits will be available on Aug. 2. The payment dates continue until Aug. 10, when those with a case number ending in 0 will receive their payment.
