$725 Stimulus Payment 2025: In 2025, the state of Sacramento County, California launched a pilot program called the Family First Economic Support Pilot (FFESP). Under this initiative, eligible families caring for a child aged 0-5 receive $725 per month.
Although media and blog sources sometimes refer broadly to “California $725 stimulus payment”, it’s important to recognise: this is not a statewide universal payment for all residents of California. It is a targeted, limited pilot program in Sacramento County.

$725 Stimulus Payment 2025 Schedule
Payment start date: Various reliable sources have reported that the FFESP payments were initiated on June 15, 2025.
Duration: The pilot project will be operational for 12 months from the date of commencement, that is, until July 15, 2026.
Hence, the final deposit under this specific $725 monthly payment plan should be approximately in the middle of July 2026 (for the July payment).
If someone asks “when does the last deposit arrive” for November 2025, that would not be the final payment date. It would simply be one of the monthly payments. For example, a payment in November 2025 would arrive close to that date (likely around the 15th of the month, following the start-date pattern). The last (12th) payment will arrive mid-July 2026.
