$600 Stimulus Checks: Two-Thirds of Californians Expected to Receive New Direct Payments
An estimated two-thirds of California's nearly 40 million residents are expected to receive a stimulus check of $600 under a new budget plan pushed forward by the state's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, and approved by lawmakers there this week.
The federal government has previously approved three rounds of stimulus checks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and this will mark the second direct payment passed at the state level in California. Under the latest round of direct payments, all taxpayers in the state earning up to $75,000 per year will receive a $600 stimulus check, while families with dependents would receive an additional $500.
Undocumented immigrant families will also receive $500 payments—with about $8.1 billion set aside in total to cover the cost of all the new stimulus checks.
