Still waiting for EBT 4.0 in LA County - last name S - everyone else got theirs?

The LA County rollout is definitely taking longer than other counties. I work with CalFresh recipients and can confirm they're still sending out cards through May. Last names S-V are scheduled for this week and W-Z next week according to the schedule. Your current card should still work until the expiration date, and there's usually a grace period. If you haven't received it by the 15th, then I'd start making calls.

im in kern county with last name S and got mine 2 weeks ago. my sister in LA is W and stil waiting tho.

They're seriously so disorganized with this whole rollout! My last name is T and I'm in LA County too and STILL haven't received mine! My roommate got hers weeks ago (last name B). I called the EBT customer service line and after waiting FOR-EVER they just said "it's coming" with no actual date. So frustrating when you're depending on those benefits!!

I've been helping people navigate this EBT 4.0 transition across several counties. Here's what you need to know: 1. LA County is one of the largest and is moving slower than most 2. Your old card WILL continue to work until you activate the new one, even if it shows an expiration date (they've extended all old cards) 3. They're sending batches of 50,000-100,000 cards per week 4. Once your card ships, you should receive it within 7-10 business days 5. You can check if your card has been mailed by calling 877-328-9677 and selecting the card status option If you need to speak with someone directly at LA DPSS about your specific situation, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to a representative without the hours-long wait. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/eZ19FHRETv8?si=_CXnXqNXbLl26WB8

Last name starts with S here too, and I just got my card yesterday! I'm in LA County (San Gabriel Valley area). They're definitely still sending them out. The envelope was super plain and I almost threw it away thinking it was junk mail, so check your mail carefully!

The EBT 4.0 rollout has been a mess. My household received our cards weeks apart despite having the same last name and address. The worst part is that the notification letters arrived AFTER the cards for half my family. For anyone still waiting, make sure your address is updated on BenefitsCal and check if you've completed your latest SAR7 or recertification. Sometimes they hold new cards if your case has any pending issues.

One more thing to add - I've seen a few cases where the EBT 4.0 cards were sent to old addresses even though people had updated their info on BenefitsCal. If you've moved in the past year, it might be worth confirming your address directly with the county office. The EBT vendor and county systems don't always sync properly.
