Yolo County P-EBT 2025 payments not showing up yet - anyone received theirs?

nope not yet, im in davis and nothing on our card either. my neighbor got hers tho and shes in west sac, weird that its hitting some places and not others

The P-EBT distributions for Yolo County are being released in batches this year based on the first letter of the child's last name. According to the schedule posted on the Yolo County Human Services website: A-H: March 15-16 I-P: March 17-18 Q-Z: March 19-20 So depending on your children's last name, you might not get the deposit until tomorrow. If it's past your scheduled date and you still haven't received it, then it would be worth contacting them directly. Also, remember that P-EBT is separate from your regular CalFresh benefits, so it will show as a different transaction in your EBT account history.

I'M SO DONE WITH THIS SYSTEM!!! This is the third time they've changed how they distribute P-EBT without clearly telling anyone. Last year it was by school district, the year before by grade level, now by last name?? How are families supposed to budget when they keep changing everything and don't communicate clearly? My kids qualify for P-EBT and CalFresh both but I swear they make it as confusing as possible on purpose!!

my kids got there pebt yesterday and we're in winters. but im confused because i thought pebt was only for remote learning during covid? are they still doing it? maybe its pandemic ebt vs permanent ebt and thats why im confused

If anyone is having trouble reaching someone at Yolo County about their P-EBT or regular CalFresh benefits, I recently discovered a service called Claimyr that got me through to an actual human at the county office in less than 10 minutes. After weeks of getting disconnected or waiting on hold forever, it was a game-changer. They call and wait on hold for you, then call you when they get a real person. I watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/eZ19FHRETv8?si=_CXnXqNXbLl26WB8) and it worked exactly like they showed. The website is claimyr.com if anyone needs help getting through. Saved me a ton of stress when I was dealing with a missed verification deadline last month.

Just to clarify some confusion I'm seeing in this thread - the P-EBT 2025 program has three distribution phases in California. Each county has their own schedule, and Yolo County is indeed using alphabetical distribution by last name. However, there have been some processing delays affecting the A-H group specifically, which is why some people with last names in that range haven't received their benefits yet despite being in the first scheduled batch. Important note: P-EBT benefits are loaded onto a separate card from your regular CalFresh EBT card unless you specifically requested consolidation during the last open enrollment period. So some people might be checking the wrong card. If you lost your P-EBT card, you'll need to request a replacement by calling the P-EBT Helpline at 877-328-9677, not your regular EBT customer service number. Also, for the 2025 cycle, benefit amounts increased by about 30% compared to last year, so you'll receive more per eligible child than previous cycles.

UPDATE: Our P-EBT benefits just posted! Checked the separate P-EBT card this morning and the funds are there. Thank you everyone for your help and information. For those still waiting - definitely check the actual P-EBT card if you have one, not your regular CalFresh EBT card (I was checking the wrong one at first too).
