Food stamps: California SNAP benefits for November worth up to $1,751 to arrive in one day

California’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will send the first payment for November, worth up to $1,751, to residents in one day.

The federal SNAP program, called CalFresh in the Golden State, began issuing payments on the 1st of the month and ends Nov. 10. Payments will be distributed to qualified low-income households 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 Nov. 1. If a case number ends in 2, SNAP benefits will be available on Nov. 2. The payment dates continue until Nov. 10, when those with a case number ending in 0 will receive their payment.

The majority of California households must have a monthly gross income at or below 130% of the federal poverty level to qualify for SNAP. The maximum payment is $291 for a household of one, $973 for a household of four, and $1,751 for a household of eight. Up to $219 is added to a household’s food stamps for each member after eight.
