California Families: Grab Your $725 Monthly Checks Before This Deadline!

2

If you’re living in Sacramento County and raising a young child, there’s some real help available—but the clock’s ticking. California is offering $725 per month for a whole year through a special support program, and the deadline to apply is April 27, 2025. That’s right around the corner!

This isn’t just another complicated government benefit. It’s part of the Family First Economic Support Pilot Program (FFESP), and it’s designed to give families with small kids a little financial breathing room—no strings attached.

What’s This Program All About?

The program gives $725 every month to qualifying families. That’s $8,700 over 12 months—money you can use for rent, groceries, gas, childcare, or whatever helps keep your family going. The idea is simple: take some financial stress off your plate so you can focus more on raising your kids and less on making ends meet.

The payments start mid-June 2025, and if you’re selected, you’ll get monthly support for an entire year.

Do You Qualify?

Here’s what you need to check:

  • You live in Sacramento County, specifically in one of these ZIP codes:
    95815, 95821, 95823, 95825, 95828, or 95838

  • You’re the legal guardian of a child under age 6 who lives with you at least half the time.

  • Your household income is within the limits. For example, a family of four must earn $62,400 or less per year.

  • You’re not currently getting money from another guaranteed income program.

And no—immigration status does not disqualify you. If you meet the other rules, you’re good to go.

How to Apply (It’s Quick)

If you’re eligible, applying is pretty simple:

  1. Go to ffesp.org
    That’s the official application site.

  2. Fill out the form
    Just basic info about you, your income, your ZIP code, and your child.

  3. Upload your documents
    You’ll need proof of:

    • Where you live (like a utility bill)

    • Your income (pay stubs or tax return)

    • Your guardianship (birth certificate or custody docs)

  4. Hit Submit before April 27
    Don’t wait—late applications won’t be accepted.

What Happens After You Apply?

Applications close at 11:59 PM on April 27, 2025. After that:

  • A limited number of applicants will be randomly selected.

  • You’ll hear back in April or May 2025 if you’re chosen.

  • Payments begin in mid-June, and you’ll get $725 each month.

  • You can get the money via direct deposit or a mailed check—whichever is easier for you.

Need Help with the Application?

You’re not alone. If you need support, you can:

  • Call: (916) 368-3013

  • Email: [email protected]

  • Or ask a local community group for help with the application.

If you’re eligible, this is money meant for families like yours. It’s not a loan. It doesn’t have to be paid back. And it could be a real game-changer for covering everyday expenses or simply giving you a bit of peace of mind.

But you’ve got to act fast—the deadline is April 27. So don’t wait. Go apply now, and take that step toward a little more security for your family.
