Stimulus Check?

Forums:

Just checked my checking account and there is a deposit for 600.00.  Says FTB GSS II GS STIM II.  I did not know this was coming. Did all get?

Gavin paying you for your vote.

Cool.

It's free!

Racket, am I paying for your stimulus? Do you want me to take it back from you?

The recall campaign owes voting taxpayers a lot of money. Not that we'll ever see those crooks pony up for their wasteful spending of our money. Recalls aren't free.

You bet recalls aren't free especially when you have to bribe the electorate with tax payer money.
EDD owes us $31 billion.

lmao you really don't think people would've voted that Larry buffoon in do you? I don't like Newsom *that* much but I'd still rather have him than elect a whackjob republican to govern our state. This is a blue state, dude, not a news flash. 

cali gets all the good stimuli

 

Is that a stimulus in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Thanks Lollo.

Of course I can use the money, but again, I don't think I should have been sent it.  And no, I won't give it back or to charity. If I was the only one, sure. But I am sure many received it that like me, the pandemic has not cost anything( speak English much?). I was wondering how I would pay for repairs on my woodstove exhaust.

Sounds like a nice dinner for two at French laundry!

Turtle, I think at this point that's a dinner for one with a little left over...

 

The reasoning, besides what Racket said about bribing us to vote for him, (uh-huh)

was the fact that we pay a lot of taxes here, in many different forms, and the state

is billions in the black.

Maybe they could of used that money to do something with all those third world homeless camps you all got out there in Cali?

Stimulus Check 1 - 2

Check 1 - 2

I got mine today, and I'm happy to see it. Funny thing is that I voted for Newsom in the recall election back in September, and the bribe just got to me now. Is that how's it's supposed to work, Racket?

What's really curious is the check is dated 10/29/21, but I didn't get it until today.

Another one?  What is this one for?

 

This one was marked Stimulus II.

Unfortunately I don't qualify since I didn't begin living in CA until 2021, but hey, good news for those in need....

 

A big batch of California stimulus paper checks are going out this week

At least 750,000 paper California stimulus checks will begin going out via mail on Monday, the California Franchise Tax Board told SFGATE. 

On Friday, the state issued about 34,000 direct deposits of the Golden State Stimulus II payments, the Board added. Most direct deposits were sent by the end of October.

Roughly 9 million Californians are expected to qualify for the payments, which the Tax Board sends as both direct deposits and paper checks. Whether you receive a paper check or a direct deposit depends on what you selected on your tax return. The board estimates that about 3.3 million additional payments will be made in the coming weeks. 

"We expect the vast majority of all GSS II payments will be issued by year's end, but they will continue into early next year," a spokesperson for the Tax Board said. 

The previous batch of checks were mailed on Nov. 1.

Oct. 15 was the last day for Californians to file their tax returns to qualify for the stimulus payments. The Tax Board determines eligibility for the payments based off tax returns. 

The Tax Board said it could not release the payments all at once due to a series of constraints, including "the state's ability to validate eligibility, protect against fraud and issue GSS II payments simultaneously with other mandatory disbursements," it said. 

The state also has "various processing constraints, including printing and mailing," the Tax Board added.

Wondering how much you'll receive? The Franchise Tax Board has a handy tool on its website that helps you determine the amount.

Generally, if you qualified for the first Golden State Stimulus payment and claimed a credit of one or more dependents, you'll receive $500. If you did not qualify for that stimulus payment and did not claim a credit of one or more dependents, you'll receive $600. If you did not qualify for that stimulus and claimed one or more dependents, you could receive $1,100. Lastly, if you qualified for the stimulus and did not claim a credit for one or more dependents, you do not qualify for the second stimulus payment.

The funds were drawn from federal recovery funds and California's budget surplus. Newsom said about two-thirds of residents will be eligible for the $600 payments. Those with children will receive an additional $500.
