CalFresh February issuance alphabetical schedule - anyone with last name T gotten benefits loaded yet?
So I'm totally confused about this alphabetical issuance thing for February. The county sent me some notice saying they're now loading EBT cards by last name, and our household is supposed to get ours between the 12th-14th (last name starts with T). It's already the 13th and NOTHING has been loaded on my card yet. Getting really worried since we're almost out of food and I planned shopping around when benefits should arrive. Has anyone else with last name starting with T gotten their February benefits yet? Is there some kind of delay happening? System issues? I've been on CalFresh for 3 years and never dealt with this alphabetical schedule before.

UPDATE: My benefits just loaded about an hour ago! So for anyone else with a T last name who's still waiting, they're definitely processing them today. Thanks everyone for the help and information!
