eligible according to the governor's office. $600 payments have started to go out to Californians on April 15th from The California Franchise Tax Board and will be received in the same way you received your tax return. For eligibility on the Golden State Stimulus click here! If eligible, the speed at which you will receive your payment depends on when you filed your
taxes. The state must receive your 2020 taxes before the payment is sent and the deadline to send your taxes for the one-time payment is October 15, 2021. If your taxes were filed between January 1st and March 1st you can expect the Golden State Stimulus after April 15th. If you filed after March 2nd it can take up to 45 days to receive payment depending on the method of delivery. The California Franchise Tax Board has a wait-time availability on their
website for the Golden State Stimulus. Eligible residents can contact The California Franchise Tax Board by talking with a representative on their website or by calling 800-852-5711.

Sponsored ContentUpdate: Twitter users reporting checks are hitting bank accountsThe day has finally come. After months of anticipation, the Middle Class Tax Refund – also known as inflation relief payments – are being sent out directly to California residents starting Friday. State legislators approved the plan to send direct payments to an estimated 23 million Californians back in June. Since then, the state’s Franchise Tax Bureau has slowly released information about who qualifies, how much each recipient qualifies for, and when the batches of payments will go out. If you haven’t been following the updates closely, let’s get you up to speed. Do I qualify?In order to receive an inflation relief payment, you must have:
That’s the short version, but we lay out the requirements in more detail here. How much will I get?Payments can be as small as $200 or as large as $1,050. How much you receive depends on three factors: your income, your tax filing status, and whether or not you have dependents. We break down each scenario in the chart below. First, find your tax filing status (individual, filing jointly, etc.), then determine the appropriate row for your income and the appropriate column for your dependent status. Individual tax filers
Joint tax filers
Head of household or surviving spouse
How will I get paid?The state is sending out payments in two ways: direct deposit and debit card in the mail. If you filed your 2020 taxes electronically and you received a tax refund by direct deposit, then you can expect to receive your Middle Class Tax Refund by direct deposit as well, the Franchise Tax Board said. Pretty much everyone else will be getting a debit card, the agency said. (We outline the criteria in greater detail here.) When will I get my payment? Who gets paid first?The state is sending out the payments in waves. When you get paid depends on the method with which you’re getting paid (see section above). The earliest direct deposits will go out Friday, Oct. 7, to people who received a Golden State Stimulus (GSS) payment last year by direct deposit. (The Golden State Stimulus program sent money directly to low-income state residents with GSS I, and then to people earning less than $75,000 with GSS II.) The last payments should be sent out by Jan. 15, 2023, at the latest, according to the Franchise Tax Board. Use the chart below to see when you can expect your payment:
What if my income has changed?A lot can change in two years. What if you make significantly less now than you did in 2020? Could you qualify for a larger payment? “No,” the California Franchise Tax Board tells Nexstar. “The Middle Class Tax Refund (MCTR) legislation requires eligibility to be based on a complete filed 2020 California state income tax return.” That means regardless of any change in income – lower or higher – you’re locked into receiving the payment size that corresponds with your 2020 income. There is no way to appeal the Franchise Tax Board for an exception. What if I live off of social security or disability income? Do I qualify?With the Golden State Stimulus payments in 2021, people whose sole source of income was public assistance were not eligible for a payment, because their tax forms showed $0 of California Adjusted Gross Income (or CA AGI). Californians needed between $1 and $75,000 of income to qualify for the Golden State Stimulus. However, with the Middle Class Tax Refund this year, even people who reported $0 of AGI on their 2020 taxes qualify for a payment. An individual who relies exclusively on social security or disability as their income, and therefore had a CA AGI or $0 in 2020, will receive $350 if they do not claim a dependent, or $700 if they have at least one dependent, according to the Franchise Tax Bureau. How can I track my California stimulus?How can I track the payment? There is currently no way to track the payments. However, all information regarding who receives the payments and when they are expected is on CFTB website.
