How Much is This Golden Ticket Worth?
The short answer is: it depends. It's like asking how long is a piece of string while juggling kittens. Okay, maybe not that chaotic, but you get the idea.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Basically, the amount you get hinges on a few factors:
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
- Age of your kiddo: Are they a tiny tot or a school-aged superstar?
- CalFresh benefits: Did you get those sweet, sweet CalFresh benefits during the 2021-2022 school year?
- School attendance: Did your kiddo miss school due to COVID-19?
If you're a parent of a young child who received CalFresh, you're looking at an average of $45 per month for each month you got those benefits. Not too shabby, right? But remember, it's an average. Your actual amount could be slightly more or less.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
For school-aged kids, it's a bit more complicated. If they missed school due to COVID-19, they might get up to $7.10 per missed day. But don't start doing mental math just yet. There are other factors involved, like whether they qualified for free or reduced-price meals.

So, When's the Party?
Good question! The cards were mailed out in waves starting in August 2022. If you haven't received yours yet, don't panic. They're working their way through millions of cards, so it might take a while.
