The Franchise Tax Board has been receiving non-stop questions regarding payments and how quickly funds will be sent.
After being bombarded with calls, the FTB is asking Californians to stop contacting them to find out if there is a way to speed up payments.
“MCTR payments cannot be expedited by contacting FTB,” the agency told Nexstar, as reported by KTLA.
“Californians who meet all eligibility criteria do not have to do anything to receive their payments.”
The agency says if you meet all the requirements, the best thing to do is wait.
If you don’t see your payment on October 7, don’t worry.
The funds are issued in two rounds, the first from October 7 to 25, and the second from October 28 to November 14.
Residents who have received either of Golden State’s stimulus payments will be the first to receive their payments.
Relief funds will also be distributed in the form of debit cards if you did not electronically file your 2020 taxes.
These will be mailed to eligible California residents from October 25 through January 15, a much longer window.
Reimbursement Eligibility
The one-time direct payment of up to $1,050 must be directly deposited into the accounts of California residents who have filed their 2020 taxes, in accordance with the FTB
The other requirements are:
- You must be a California resident for all six months of the 2020 tax year and will remain a resident while payments are distributed
- Fall into a number of California income brackets
- Were not eligible to be claimed as a dependent in 2020
- You filed your 2020 tax return before October 15, 2021
Also, depending on your annual income, you should not expect to receive the full $1,050.
It also depends on the specific area of California you live in.
