Next Monday, certain Californian beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - better known by its acronym SNAP - are due to get their monthly payment for June 2026.

A nationwide food-stamps scheme that benefited around 5.5 million Californians per month in 2024/25, SNAP is a federal program - but the distribution of funds is managed at state level.

In California, SNAP is run by the Golden States’ Department of Social Services, under the name CalFresh.

Who gets CalFresh benefits on Monday, June 1?

In California, SNAP beneficiaries typically receive their monthly money between the 1st and 10th of the month, depending on their CalFresh case number.

On Monday, June 1, CalFresh benefits are due to be issued to recipients whose CalFresh case number ends in 1.
