California's latest round of Golden State Stimulus checks will soon be bringing more cash to people who qualify.
Andrew LePage of the California Franchise Tax Board says people eligible will receive checks between $500 and $1,100 in most cases.
LePage says people will typically qualify with an income of less than $75,000 last year, have lived in California for most of the year, live in the state now, are not claimed as a dependent and filed 2020 taxes before Oct. 15, 2021.
As for how much will you get? If you qualify, $600 will be given. If you file jointly, your combined income would need to be less than $75,000. Plus, another $500 if you have dependents. That means nearly 2/3rds of Californian's will receive a check.
If you received money from the first round of the Golden State Stimulus, you'll miss out on this second round of payments.
"For example, if you qualify for GSS 2, and you did not get a Golden State Stimulus and you have one or more dependents, you would get $1,100 for Golden State Stimulus 2," LePage explained.
People with ITINs instead of Social Security numbers will receive $1,000 with a dependent.
California will start issuing payments by the end of August and will continue issuing them on a two-week basis.
Direct deposit registered payments will arrive first, then paper checks will be mailed to the remaining people who qualify.
