What Time Are Benefits Loaded?
In California, EBT benefits are typically loaded onto recipients' cards at midnight on the scheduled deposit date. This means that funds should be available for use starting from 12:01 AM. However, it's always a good idea to check your EBT balance to ensure the funds have been deposited correctly. This can help avoid any surprises when you go to make a purchase.

What to Do If You Miss a Deposit
There are several reasons why an EBT deposit might be missed. Common issues include missing a renewal deadline or failing to submit a required report on time. Additionally, deposits scheduled on weekends or holidays may experience delays. If you miss a deposit, first check if you have any outstanding paperwork or deadlines. Contact EBT customer service at 1-877-328-9677 to verify your account status and resolve any issues. If the delay is due to a weekend or holiday, funds should be available the next business day.
