Millions of Californians needing relief from inflation will receive a one-time direct payment of up to $1,050 next month as prices continue to rise for consumers.
The relief payments are part of California’s Middle Class Tax Refund. Checks will be shipped out at the beginning of October, either by direct deposit or debit cards.

Lawmakers in Sacramento approved a $12 billion relief effort this summer that includes the payments. Roughly 23 million residents are eligible for the refund.
Direct payment amounts will vary depending on the recipients’ income and number of dependents, if applicable. Married filers making $150,000 or less and having a dependent will receive a payment of $1,050, and single filers making between $125,001 and $250,000 with no dependents will receive a payment of $200.

Eligible applicants must have been residents for six months during the 2020 tax year, filed 2020 taxes by Oct. 15, 2021, and earned less than $250,000 a year for individual filers or less than $500,000 a year for couples.
If someone was eligible to be claimed as a dependent for taxes in 2020, he or she is ineligible for this relief payment.
