As Christmas is approaching, people are waiting for another check, but there is no announcement regarding it yet.

In California, they are still in the second round of issuing stimulus checks. And they only issued $600 to the person whose annual income is less than $75,000.
The governor signed a law this year in February, according to which the people residing in California with income lower than $75,000 will be benefited with $600. This limit was much higher than the earlier one that was $30,000. It has benefited both citizens as well as non-citizens. That means individuals should have paid taxes till mid-2020. However, they must be a taxpayer earlier to the mid of 2020.
The number was so high that Governor Newsom said that it was the most significant rebate in state tax in the history of the US. Around 9 million people qualified and benefited from it.
