California’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will send the first payment for November, worth up to $1,751, to residents in two days.
The federal SNAP program, called CalFresh in the Golden State, begins issuing payments on the first of the month through Dec. 10. Payments will be sent out 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 Dec. 1. If a case number ends in 2, SNAP benefits will be available Dec. 2. The payment dates continue until Dec. 10, when those with case numbers ending in 0 will receive their payments.
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.
