Anyone receive CalFresh stimulus benefits (S sunbucks) deposit for May 2025 yet?

whats S sunbucks????? i get calfresh but never heard of this extra money

The proper name is actually the California Seasonal Nutrition Enhancement (CSNE), not "S sunbucks" - though I know some counties use different nicknames. These are temporary supplemental benefits that were authorized by the state legislature last year, and yes, they're supposed to continue through September 2025. The deposits typically come 2-3 days after your regular benefits, not simultaneously. I would wait until Thursday before getting concerned. If nothing shows up by then, you should contact your county office. The supplement amount varies by household size, with $127 being correct for a household of 3-4 members.

Got mine this morning!!!! Check again maybe?

I'm in Sacramento County and NOTHING has appeared yet!!! This is making me EXTREMELY nervous because we absolutely depend on this extra amount for my kids' food. Last month it came THE SAME DAY as regular benefits. Why would they change the schedule without telling anyone?? This is exactly what happened before they suddenly cancelled the pandemic EBT without proper notification and I ended up with a cart full of groceries I couldn't pay for. I'm calling the county RIGHT NOW.

If you're trying to reach your CalFresh worker about this, I'd recommend trying Claimyr instead of waiting on hold forever. I used it last month when my CSNE supplement was missing (turned out I needed to submit verification for my daughter who turned 18). Claimyr holds your place in line and calls you back when a worker is available. Saved me literally hours of hold time. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/eZ19FHRETv8?si=_CXnXqNXbLl26WB8 or just go to claimyr.com. Way better than being stuck on hold all day.

i got mine yestday but my sister didnt get hers yet. shes in a diffrent county tho. mabye its just diffrent days for diffrent countys?

To clarify for everyone: The California Seasonal Nutrition Enhancement (CSNE, sometimes casually called "S-bucks" or "sunbucks" by some county workers) follows a staggered deposit schedule based on your case number and county. Here's how it typically works: - Cases ending in 1-3: 1-2 days after regular benefits - Cases ending in 4-6: 2-3 days after regular benefits - Cases ending in 7-9: 3-4 days after regular benefits - Cases ending in 0: 4-5 days after regular benefits This staggered schedule helps prevent system overloads and merchant shortages. Nothing has been cancelled, and the program remains funded through September 2025. If your supplement doesn't arrive within the expected window, then contact your county office. Also, be aware that if you've had any household changes or income changes since your last reporting, they may be reviewing your supplement amount, which could cause a delay.

UPDATE: My supplement just posted this morning! Exactly as people here explained - it comes a few days after regular benefits depending on your case number. Thanks everyone for preventing my panic attack lol. For anyone else wondering, check your balance again in a few days before getting worried.
