San Diego County recipients of CalFresh will start seeing their November benefits loaded onto their EBT cards over the next several days, the county announced Friday.

The process began Thursday night after a federal court ruled in favor of restoring full benefits during the ongoing government shutdown, according to the state.

CalFresh is the California version of the federal food assistance program also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly referred to as EBT or food stamps. The program is entirely federally funded, but is managed by states and administered by counties.

The orders came in rulings by two federal judges who told the U.S. Department of Agriculture separately Friday that it must begin using billions of dollars in contingency funding to provide federal food assistance to needy families despite the federal shutdown — but gave the agency until Monday to decide how to do so.

The benefits are headed to Californians despite claims from President Trump's Administration that it would not heed the court orders.
