CalFresh recipients (California’s designation for the SNAP assistance program) see the distribution of monthly payments in May 2025. Regular benefits continue on the predetermined schedule, although other groups no longer receive supplementary payments.
Depending on the case number’s final digit, the remaining CalFresh (SNAP) benefits for May 2025 will be disbursed between May 5 and May 10.
The amounts range from $292 to $1,756 depending on the size of the home, with adjustments made for each extra member. Groups with a date prior to May 5 have already received their deposits; they will now need to wait until the next month to observe the return of funds to their bank accounts.
California’s May 2025 CalFresh (SNAP) payments have not yet been delivered
Depending on the case number’s final digit, CalFresh payments for May 2025 are disbursed between May 1 and May 10.
Your case number can be found online at BenefitsCal, if you have an account, and on the majority of paperwork you get from the county.
Your case number determines when your rewards are paid out:
| Case Number Ends In | Benefits Available On |
| 1 | May 1, 2025 |
| 2 | May 2, 2025 |
| 3 | May 3, 2025 |
| 4 | May 4, 2025 |
| 5 | May 5, 2025 |
| 6 | May 6, 2025 |
| 7 | May 7, 2025 |
| 8 | May 8, 2025 |

The deposit to your EBT card is done within the first three days of May 2025 if you also receive CalWORKs (cash aid). This indicates that all of the members of this group currently have the funds in their bank accounts.
The size of the household will determine the maximum CalFresh amounts in 2025. “The maximum is $292 for one person, $536 for two, $768 for three, and $975 for four,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said.
The figures for larger households are as follows: $1,158 for five persons, $1,390 for six, $1,536 for seven, and $1,756 for eight. The total increases by $220 for each extra person.
These figures, which take effect between October 2024 and September 2025, have been modified to account for living expenses. Benefits may differ depending on income and deductions.

Are you worried about losing your CalFresh funds? This must be done immediately
To continue receiving benefits, CalFresh must be recertified. According to an official, the deadline is typically the fifth day of the final month of the certification period.
The deadline was probably April 5, 2025, for those whose terms ended in May 2025. Payments may be halted until the update is processed if it is not finished.
Beneficiaries are required to update their financial and personal information. You can do this online, over the phone, or in person by getting in touch with the relevant county.
