The CalFresh program, known federally as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), continues to be a crucial lifeline for millions of low-income Californians. If you’re enrolled in CalFresh, it’s essential to know exactly when your benefits will be issued in April 2025.
CalFresh benefits are distributed monthly on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card and can be used at approved grocery stores, markets, and online retailers.
How Does CalFresh Work?
CalFresh is California’s version of the SNAP program. It provides financial support to help families and individuals afford nutritious food. The amount of benefits a household receives depends on factors such as:
- Income level
- Household size
- Monthly expenses (like rent, utilities, or medical bills)
If you qualify, your CalFresh funds are automatically loaded onto your EBT card each month.
When Will CalFresh Payments Be Made in April 2025
CalFresh benefits are issued during the first 10 days of each month. Your exact payment date is determined by the last digit of your case number. Here is the April 2025 payment schedule:
| Last Digit of Case Number | EBT Deposit Date |

| 1 | April 1, 2025 |
