CalWORKs is an economic and social assistance program operating in all 58 counties in the state of California. Its mission is to provide families with equitable access to resources and services that promote stability, improve their economic situation and enable them to break the cycle of poverty. This benefit offers monthly cash assistance to qualifying families, which can be used to cover essential needs such as food, housing, utilities, clothing or medical care.
Monthly payments from the CalWORKs program are delivered between the 1st and 3rd of each month. Therefore, those enrolled in the program will receive their June 2025 deposit on those days. In addition to cash assistance, many families also access the CalFresh program, which provides food benefits through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. These benefits are available according to the last digit of the county-assigned case number. For example, if the number ends in "6," funds will be available on the 6th of each month.
