The CalWORKs program is a vital public assistance initiative that operates across all 58 counties in California.
Its core objective is to offer equitable access to financial and social services, helping families achieve economic stability and ultimately escape poverty.
Eligible participants receive monthly cash payments that can be used to cover essential living expenses like food, rent, utilities, clothing, and medical costs.
June 2025 CalWORKs Payment Schedule
If you’re currently enrolled in the CalWORKs program, your June 2025 benefits will be deposited between June 1st and June 3rd.
This monthly disbursement timeline remains consistent, providing predictable support for thousands of California families.
| Month | Payment Dates | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| June 2025 | June 1st to June 3rd | Deposits made based on your county’s schedule |
Additional Support Through CalFresh Benefits
Most families receiving CalWORKs also qualify for CalFresh, California’s food assistance program. CalFresh benefits are delivered through an EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card, and the deposit date depends on the final digit of the case number assigned by the county.
Example of EBT Schedule
- If your case number ends in 6, your CalFresh benefits will be loaded on the 6th of each month.
