If your California deposit is late
- Confirm the date. Benefits post at the start of your scheduled day, not at a set hour; check after midnight, and remember California pays between the 1st and the 10th.
- Check the balance the official way. Use the number on the back of your card (877-328-9677), your state's EBT portal or the ebtEDGE / ConnectEBT app, never a third-party site.
- Look for a pending notice. A recertification, interim report or verification request that was not returned stops the deposit until it is processed.
- Check for a statewide or federal delay on our delays page and the agency site.
- Call the SNAP office. California SNAP (CalFresh): 877-847-3663 · agency website.
