California is issuing the final wave of payments worth up to $1,050 to residents in the next two days as part of its program to offer Californians relief from rising prices due to continued high inflation.
The Middle Class Tax Refund has been sent out to eligible Californians via direct deposits and state-issued debit cards since October 2022.

Payment amounts for each resident vary and are dependent on the income of recipients and how many dependents they have. On the high end, married filers who make $150,000 or less and have dependents will receive a payment of $1,050. On the low end, single filers making between $125,000 and $250,000 with no dependents will receive payments of $200.
To be eligible, applicants must have been residents of California for at least six months during the 2020 tax year, have filed their 2020 taxes by Oct. 15, 2021, and have earned less than $250,000 a year for single filers or less than $500,000 a year for couples in that year.
