When will i get my california state stimulus check

Millions of qualifying Californians will receive up to $1,050 as part of the state's Middle Class Tax Refund program. The first round of payments are set to go out Friday.

Approximately 23 million taxpaying California residents are eligible to receive the payments, with smaller payments going to higher earners.

The payments, which are technically tax refunds, are meant "to help address rising costs," according to Gov. Gavin Newsom's office.

Newsom and state lawmakers reached a deal for the refunds back in June, when gas prices were shattering records at or above $7 a gallon.

Are you eligible?

To be eligible, you must have filed your 2020 tax return by last October and make less than $150,000 per year. If you are eligible, there is no action to take. You will receive a payment automatically without an application process.

When will you receive your payment?

According to the California Franchise Tax Board website, eligible Californians will receive their payment via direct deposit issued to their bank accounts or via a debit card sent in the mail.

Direct deposit payments are expected to be issued to bank accounts during these windows: Oct. 7, 2022 - Oct. 25, 2022 and Oct. 28, 2022 - Nov. 14, 2022.

State officials said they expect about 90% of direct deposits to be issued in the month of October 2022.

Debit cards are expected to be mailed between Oct. 25, 2022 - Dec. 10, 2022, with the rest receiving the card by Jan. 15, 2023.

State officials said they expect about 95% of all payments - direct deposit and debit cards combined - to be issued by the end of this year.

So who will get paid by direct deposit, and who will receive a debit card?

Generally, direct deposit payments will be made to eligible taxpayers who e-filed their 2020 CA tax return and received their CA tax refund by direct deposit. The remaining eligible taxpayers will receive their payments in the form of a debit card, according to the California Franchise Tax Board website.

You will receive your payment by mail in the form of a debit card if you:

  • Filed a paper return
  • Had a balance due
  • Received your Golden State Stimulus payment by check
  • Received your tax refund by check regardless of filing method
  • Received your 2020 tax refund by direct deposit, but have since changed your banking institution or bank account number
  • Received an advance payment from your tax service provider, or paid your tax preparer fees using your tax refund

An estimated 23 million Californians are expected to receive an inflation relief payment of at least $200 between October and January.

The first round of direct deposit payments started going out Oct. 7 and will continue through this Tuesday.

The second round of direct deposit will begin Friday and continue in November.

The payments come after lawmakers in June approved the Middle Class Tax Refund — a direct response to inflation taking a toll on Americans' wallets, especially in the California, where gas is over $6 per gallon and every day grocery items cost more than ever before.

Gas prices are too high.

23 million Californians will be receiving up to $1000 starting TOMORROW.

This will be the largest state tax rebate in the country.
