The California Electronic Benefits Transfer system will be shut down for 24 hours this weekend.

The system will be down from 11:00 p.m. Saturday , June 23 through 11:00 p.m. on Sunday , June 24. That means EBT cardholders will be unable to make cash withdrawals or buy food during that period. The shut down is due to a change in vendor operations for the statewide system. EBT cardholders are encouraged to withdraw the money needed for food purchases prior to the shut down.
