$1,050 Direct Payments for Californians
Direct payments, stimulus checks, and other cash assistance have been the hallmarks of federal and state officials since the pandemic began. This time, state officials are making different initiatives to help their residents cope with the increasing inflation rate.
Residents in California will soon receive the second round of direct payments of up to $1,050. Officials said that they started distributing the Middle Tax Class Refund payments in early October and they sent out roughly $9.5 billion.
The second round of direct payments will be sent through direct deposit or as a prepaid debit card. However, they cannot yet tell when they can fully deliver the direct payments.
