Looking to get your $600 Golden State stimulus check? You're not alone.
Back in February, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that 5.7 million Californian's will receive a $600 Golden State stimulus check. The $600 payments have started to go out to Californians on April 15th from The California Franchise Tax Board and will be received in the same way you received your tax return.

If you are eligible, the speed at which you will receive your payment depends on when you filed your taxes. The state must receive your 2020 taxes before the payment is sent and the deadline to send your taxes for the one-time payment is October 15, 2021. If your taxes were filed between January 1st and March 1st you can expect the Golden State Stimulus after April 15th. If you filed after March 2nd it can take up to 45 days to receive payment depending on the method of delivery.
The California Franchise Tax Board has a wait-time availability on their website for the Golden State Stimulus.
Eligible residents can contact The California Franchise Tax Board by talking with a representative on their website or by calling 800-852-5711.
