The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known in California as CalFresh, has already established its payment schedule for next January.
This economic aid, without a doubt, is vital for millions of beneficiaries residing in the United States.
Official data reveal that until May of this year, the state of California, precisely, had more than 5.2 million participants in the aforementioned program.
As is known, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) covers the full cost of benefits and 50% of the program’s operating expenses. Meanwhile, California and some local governments take care of the rest.
People who receive CalFresh and SNAP financial aid generally do so through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. This is, in essence, a debit card.
The amount of money CalFresh sends varies depending on household size and monthly net income after allowed deductions.
For example, the maximum payment for a single-person household is $291.00 USD; a two-person household can receive $536.00 USD and a three-person household can receive $766.00 USD.
The figure increases if the family is larger. $219.00 USD is added for each additional member, over eight years old.
January payments
CalFresh payments reach beneficiaries during the first 10 days of each month. The exact date is determined according to the digit of the case number. This is the official payment schedule for the initial month of 2024.
