‘Inflation Relief' Payments Are on the Way. Here's What to Know: California

10/7/2022

Eligible Californians will receive $200 to $1,050, depending on tax filing status and income. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is up for re-election in November’s runoff, said in a tweet that 23 million Californians will begin received the refunds Friday.

The plan approved by lawmakers was announced earlier this year at a time of skyrocketing fuel prices. After weeks of decreases, gas prices took another leap in Southern California to start October.

Tens of millions of Californians will begin receiving so-called ‘inflation relief’ payments Friday through the Middle Class Tax Refund approved by lawmakers in June.

Gas prices are too high.

23 million Californians will be receiving up to $1000 starting TOMORROW.

This will be the largest state tax rebate in the country.
