The state of California has been one of the ones that has provided the most economic benefits to its residents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In the midst of the crisis, the Stimulus Check has been distributed and it has been one of the most successful in the United States. In California, it is still being distributed and residents can receive between $200 and $1050, a significant amount for many of them to cover basic expenses. In the following article, we will tell you who is eligible and how to receive the payment.
When will the Stimulus Check payment arrive in 2023?
The Franchise Tax Board of California announced that a new date has been scheduled for the payment of the Stimulus Checks, which were supposed to end in late January. However, this has been delayed due to a thorough case-by-case inspection, thus delaying the agreed upon dates.
Therefore, the next scheduled date for the round of debit card shipments is February 14th, meaning that the recipient would receive their check two weeks later. Except for direct deposits, which will arrive at the end of January. There is also a group that changed their personal information, so the shipment of their checks will be at the end of February or until March 1st.
How do I know if I am eligible for the Stimulus Check payment?
It should be noted that beneficiaries will receive their payment via direct deposit or debit card.
Californians who electronically filed their 2020 tax return and received their refund by direct deposit will receive their payment in the same way.
- The Franchise Tax Board of California stated that other beneficiaries will receive payment by mail in the form of a debit card if:
- They filed a paper return
- They had a balance due
- They received their Golden State Stimulus (GSS) payment by check
- They received their 2020 tax refund by check regardless of the filing method
- They received their 2020 tax refund by direct deposit, but have since changed their financial institution or bank account number
- They received an advance payment from their tax service provider or paid their tax preparer fees using their tax refund.
