Cracking the Code: The Last Digit of Destiny
Unlike bus schedules scribbled on napkins, California EBT deposits are refreshingly predictable. Here's the secret sauce: your case number's last digit is the key!
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
- Case number ends in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5? Booyah! Your groceries hit the digital shelves on the first 5 days of the month.
- Case number looking more like a 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0? High five! Those benefits become available between the 6th and 10th of each month.
Important Side Note: This isn't an exact science. Benefits usually arrive at midnight on your designated day, but allow for some wiggle room. Sometimes the cyber-gremlins take a lunch break, and your card might sing a day later.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
