If you’re relying on the Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) program in Florida to pay your family’s bills, I’ll bet that you’ll want to keep close tabs on your payments. With July just around the corner, it’s great to know when payments are going out, how much you’ll receive, and what the criteria are for ongoing eligibility for this assistance.
I’ll walk you through it.
✅ When are you paid your July TCA payment
TCA July 2025 payments start being sent out via mail on EBT cards from Tuesday, July 1, but you’re not paid out at the same time on that day. Your deposit date depends on your case number—i.e., the 9th and 8th digits, reversed (omit the 10th digit).
