When will CalFresh post the extra payment scheduled for 21st? Not showing on EBT account

which extra payment r u talking about? theres no extra calfresh on 21st that i know of... regular benefits come based on ur case # only

Supplemental payments don't show up in the Provider portal until they're actually issued. If your caseworker told you to expect a supplement on the 21st, it's probably due to one of three things: 1) a benefit adjustment after recalculation, 2) a restoration of benefits if you had a previous underpayment, or 3) a special issuance approved by your county. These won't show as "pending" anywhere - they just appear in your account on the day they're issued. If the 21st is the date your worker promised, you should see it that day, typically by noon.

There are a few different types of supplemental payments that can happen with CalFresh. Based on what you mentioned about a household size calculation, it sounds like they did a recalculation after your household composition changed. These supplements typically post on a specific day the county worker sets - in your case the 21st. They don't show as pending in the system because they're processed differently than regular monthly benefits. As long as the worker put it in the system correctly, it should appear in your EBT account on the 21st without any further action from you. If it doesn't show up by the end of day on the 21st, call your county office first thing the next morning.

Your GETTIN a supplemental payment?!? I never got one!!1! They keep telling me my household of 5 only qualifies for $457/month which is NOTHING with food prices now. How did u qualify for extra??

Have you tried calling the EBT customer service line? Sometimes they can see pending deposits that don't show up on the Provider portal yet. I've had luck with them in the past when I was waiting for a replacement card benefit transfer. Just call the number on the back of your EBT card and follow the prompts to speak with a representative.

If you're having trouble reaching someone at the EBT customer service or your county office, I'd recommend trying Claimyr. It helped me get through to an actual CalFresh worker after weeks of trying on my own. Their service calls and waits on hold for you, then calls you when they have a real person on the line. I used it last month to confirm my SAR7 was processed correctly. Saved me hours of frustration. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a demo video at https://youtu.be/eZ19FHRETv8?si=_CXnXqNXbLl26WB8 that explains how it works.

My caseworker did something similar for me in January. The extra payment posted around 11am on the day she said it would. Don't stress if it's not there first thing in the morning - sometimes it takes until afternoon to show up in your balance.

UPDATE: The supplement posted this morning! It was actually more than I expected - $387 for adding my nephew to the household mid-month. So relieved. Thanks everyone for your help!

For anyone finding this thread later: Supplemental payments for household adjustments typically post on whatever date the eligibility worker enters into the system. They don't show as pending in advance, and won't follow your regular issuance date. If you're expecting a supplement and it doesn't arrive when promised, contact your county office immediately as there may have been an entry error or processing delay.
