California food stamps, also known as CalFresh under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, will be distributed in four days.

August SNAP payments in the Golden State start on the first of the month and run through Aug. 10. Payments will be distributed 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 Aug. 1. If a case number ends in 2, CalFresh benefits will be available on Aug. 2. The payment dates continue until Aug. 10, when those with a case number ending in 0 will receive their payment.

The amount of SNAP benefits households get will depend on multiple factors, including household size, income limits, and additional assets.

The average payment in California per eligible individual is $196 a month. The maximum payment for a household of one person each month is $281. The maximum SNAP amount for a household of four is $939, and the maximum amount for a household of eight is $1,691. For each household member past eight, the CalFresh program adds up to $211.
