California, known as the Golden State, is gearing up to disburse August payments to beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), referred to as CalFresh in the region. SNAP is a crucial food-assistance scheme that aids low-income households by providing them with a monthly allowance to purchase food at eligible grocery stores across the United States.
Each state manages the transfer of SNAP allowances, resulting in varying payment dates depending on the recipient’s location. In California, beneficiaries can expect to receive their benefits on specific dates based on the last digit of their case number.
