Most counties, cities have a post office that is close to the welfare office. They receive their checks, ebt’s, etc. in their name addressed to...

John Doe
General Delivery
Timbucktoo, Ca
93333

Then they pick everything up at the post office by a specific date. If it is not picked up by that date the post office sends it back to the Welfare Dept and they can pick them up there.
It’s a lot easier now since everything (cash, food stamps) goes onto a card that is reloaded every month. Now the General Delivery is only for the initial card.
I was an eligibility worker for food stamps and MediCal here once upon a time.
