CalFresh Payment Schedule: CalFresh, California’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provides vital support to millions of low-income individuals and families, helping them access nutritious food across the state. With the arrival of November, many Californians are eager to know the exact payment schedule for their monthly CalFresh benefits.
CalFresh payments are issued through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card. Beneficiaries can use this card at grocery stores, supermarkets, and farmers’ markets throughout California, ensuring access to a wide range of food options to meet daily nutritional needs.
CalFresh Payment Dates for November 2024
The CalFresh payment schedule is organized according to the last digit of each recipient’s case number. For November 2024, benefits will be distributed on the following dates:
- Case Number Ends in 0: Payment issued on November 1
- Case Number Ends in 1: Payment issued on November 2
- Case Number Ends in 2: Payment issued on November 3
- Case Number Ends in 3: Payment issued on November 4

Funds are typically available by 6 a.m. on the designated payment day, so beneficiaries should check their EBT card balance after this time to confirm their benefits have been deposited.
Tips for CalFresh Beneficiaries in November
As the holiday season approaches, many CalFresh recipients may want to plan and budget carefully to cover both daily needs and any additional holiday expenses. Understanding the specific payment date based on the case number can help families allocate resources effectively, ensuring access to nutritious meals throughout the month.
If there are any issues with payment or the EBT card, beneficiaries are encouraged to reach out to the California Department of Social Services or their local county office for assistance. These agencies offer support to address any problems with benefit distribution, card security, or eligibility inquiries.
