Golden State Stimulus is an initiative of Californian state to provide monetary assistance to eligible families and individuals, which primarily aims to support Californians with low and medium incomes and assist those struggling financially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
For Californians who qualify, there is no requirement to do anything other than file their 2020 tax return in order to get the stimulus payment. There are two different forms of the Golden State Stimulus payments; The Golden State Stimulus I and II.
To qualify for the second round of payment, you must have filed your 2020 taxes by October 15, 2021, and have been a California resident for more than half of the 2020 tax year and on the date, the payment is issued.
If you submit your 2020 tax return with the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) or through the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), you may be eligible for this payment (ITIN).

In Golden State Stimulus II, families and individuals who qualify for it will receive a grant from California. If they are earning $75,000 or less and file a 2020 tax return, they may be eligible for reimbursement.
The latest Child Tax Program payments have also been distributed, with payouts amounting to $3,600 for kids under the age of six in 2021 and $3,000 for children aged six to seventeen.
Families with college students between the ages of 18 and 24 are eligible for a $500 grant. This aims to reduce the number of children living in poverty by more than half, according to the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University.
The payments are automatically set to arrive monthly until December.
Stimulus checks are relief payments that are rolled out by the US government to taxpayers in an effort to boost spending and the economy. Three have been sent so far since Covid-19 ravaged the US to help hard-hit Americans weather the pandemic onslaught.

What happen to Louisiana residents and essential workers we don’t get anything we are suffering to pay bills and put food on the table we are struggling too it’s like they just missed our state all around the government must not care for essential workers in Louisiana we worked through the pandemic to help our customers put our lives and our families lives on the line and we got nothing.
That’s because the majority of Louisiana CITIZENS are loyal America loving Patriots
and also conservative in their idealism. The California, New York Maryland and other treacherous back stabbing citizens and illegal aliens pouring into our country across our borders at their leisure with very little resistance because our law enforcement has been hung out to dry and abandoned by none other than their own president and his administration. I hope something happens very quickly before so much damage is done that we can’t reverse it. God Bless America and its very patriotic CITIZENS AND LEGAL RESIDENTS.
I live in California all my life I’ve been drawing social security since 2001 and because I didn’t file my income tax last year I’m not going to be helped I think that is unbelievable I didn’t I have not paid taxes for myself for that long and all the sudden I had to I wasn’t even told about it till now so thank you guys have a good one bye-bye
Yeah while the president and the other puppet politicians welcome criminals and trespassers into our country with 450,000 dollars of United States of Americans extremely hard earned tax dollars. No one would ever think to do such a horrendous act of treason out in full view of our very over taxed citizens and basically laying it in the hands of people who have done absolutely nothing but burden on citizens that career politicians have forgotten even exist or matters
I’m disabled and don’t make enough to file taxes. I live on $940 a month. I’m en pauper! Will I receive another stimulus check?
Kind regards,

The traitor in the White House and his equally treacherous co-conspirators also the America hating elites behind the scenes controlling everything that happens want us to suffer. I’m a disabled vet and I only collect SSI because I felt very guilty taking funds from my brothers and sisters who have been injured maimed and killed fighting for our freedom and constitution. I receive 944. a month and while I am more than grateful for that I think that handing out the sums of money and medical care to illegal aliens and criminals is a HUGE punch in the face to the disabled, retired, homeless CITIZENS AND VETERANS, and the rest who were both born here or naturalized and gave of themselves for many years all the while hearing how bad the Social Security and Medicare accounts were dwindling to nothing and that there was nothing else that could be done to fix it except raise the taxes collected for them and lowering the payments to people who have earned every penny of those dollars and that politicians who were supposed to be looking out for the best interest of the people of this country, had their hands in constantly. They want people to believe that Social Security is an entitlement and believe me a lot of people believe it is IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT. THAT MONEY HAS BEEN PUT AWAY BY THE WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS OF OUR COUNTRY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM. WE NEED TO STOP THIS.
