Food stamps: California SNAP benefits for November worth up to $1,751 to wrap up in eight days

California food stamps, also known as CalFresh under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, will finish distributing benefits in eight days for November.

The SNAP program 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 instance, 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 exact benefit amount a household will receive is dependent on a few factors, including household size, income limits, and additional assets. 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.

SNAP benefits are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer card monthly. Recipients can use the card at grocery stores to purchase eligible food products such as fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, poultry, and drinks. They are barred, however, from using SNAP benefits for products such as pet food, alcohol, and household items such as paper and soap.
