Low-income households in California will receive their November reimbursements from the state’s version of SNAP in as few as nine days.
This vital assistance program has been issuing payments since the 1st of November, and the distribution will continue until November 10, ensuring that those in need can put food on their tables.
Organized Distribution of CalFresh Benefits
The distribution process is highly organized, with payment dates corresponding to recipients’ case numbers. If your case number ends in 1, you can expect to see your CalFresh benefits on November 1.
For case numbers ending in 2, SNAP benefits will be available on November 2, and so on, culminating on November 10, when those with case numbers ending in 0 will receive their payment.
The amount that each household will receive varies based on several factors, such as household size, income limits, and additional assets. For a household of one, the maximum payment is $291, while a household of four can receive up to $973.

CalFresh’s Crucial Role in California
Larger households of eight can benefit from a maximum payment of $1,751, with an additional $219 added for each member beyond eight. These funds provide a lifeline to millions of low-income Californians, helping them access the nutrition they need.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, approximately 13% of California’s population relies on CalFresh assistance, which translates to nearly 5 million Californians receiving this support every month. These numbers underscore the importance of SNAP and the critical role it plays in addressing food insecurity in the state.
