In California, as in the rest of the United States, government assistance meets the majority of the needs of families in precarious situations.
One of the most popular right now is the one provided in Sacramento County with stimulus checks from the Family Financial Support Pilot Program (FFESP), which entails monthly payments of $725.
The program is being tested for one year, from December 15, 2024 to November 15, 2025, so eligible households are already anticipating these resources in the face of rising inflation and overall living costs.
Eligibility for the FFESP is determined by family size and income, so eligible households can receive up to $725 in the third month of payment into accounts linked to their tax returns.
