California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed into law a sweeping COVID-19 economic relief package.
It will provide financial aid to millions who’ve been hit hard by the pandemic.
“This $7.6 billion of direct relief that we are providing today not only helps support small business but supports some 5.7 million Californians with direct stimulus check relief,” Newsom said during a signing ceremony at Solomon’s Deli in Sacramento.
Here is what to expect in the coming weeks, along with information about how to get the benefits:
Some $3.8 million of the payments will go to households that qualified for the state earned income tax credit for 2020, which is available to residents earning less than $30,000 annually.
About 565,000 stimulus payments will go to thosewith individual tax identification numbers who did not receive federal stimulus payments and whose income is below $75,000, many of whom are immigrants in the country illegally.
“Those that have been left behind in the federal stimulus, California is not going to leave you behind,” Newsom said Tuesday.
Taxpayers with individual identification numbers who also qualify for California’s state earned income tax credit would receive a total of $1,200 in state stimulus.
The $600 stimulus payments will also go to 1.2 million people who receive money from the federal supplemental security income (SSI) or state supplementary payment (SSP) programs, and 405,000 payments will be provided to participants in CalWORKS, the state’s welfare-to-work program. An additional 15,000 payments are planned for participants in the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants.
The CalWORKS payments will be placed on debit cards and issued to participants by mid-April, although the timing could change based on the ability to automate the process, said H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the California Department of Finance. The timing and method of grant payments for those on SSI and SSP are still being worked out and are dependent on conversations with the federal Social Security Administration, he added.
