California’s Family First Economic Support Pilot (FFESP) continues to provide monthly financial relief to Sacramento families.
That’s why MARCA is sharing everything you need to know about the August 2025 stimulus deposit, including important dates, eligibility requirements, and payment methods.
When does the stimulus payment arrive in California in August?
The August 2025 payment will be made on August 15, either by direct deposit if a bank account is registered or by check in the mail, depending on the beneficiary’s circumstances.
This support is part of a 12-month program that began in December 2024 and will continue until November 2025.
This means that those chosen will receive $725 per month, without interruption, until the year of support is complete.
Who can receive these $725 monthly payments?
To be considered for this program, you must meet the following criteria:
Have a family income below 200% of the federal poverty level. For example, a family of four must earn less than approximately $62,400 per year.
Residence in Sacramento County, within one of the following ZIP codes: 95815, 95821, 95823, 95825, 95828 or 95838.
Be the parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 5 who lives with you at least half of the time.
It should be noted that the selection is by lottery, with only 200 families chosen, so luck is an important factor.
Reasons to choose this program
The FFESP not only pays $725 per month, but it also provides financial counseling and connections to community organizations and support groups, all of which are critical to improving families’ economic and emotional stability.
This type of assistance exemplifies successful local initiatives that aim to bridge social gaps and assist those in greatest need during times of inflation and high living costs.
Remember that this program benefited families in specific Sacramento neighborhoods with young children and low incomes, and it is designed to provide consistent monthly support for the entire year.
