California continues to distribute stimulus checks as part of a program designed to assist households affected by inflation in the United States. While many have already received their payments since October 2022, there are still people waiting.

Here's what you need to know to obtain your California Inflation Incentive Check.

To date, approximately 7.2 million direct deposits and 9.6 million preloaded debit cards have been sent out as part of this stimulus program in California. However, some recipients are still awaiting their funds.

How to check if your incentive has not yet arrived:

To receive a California Inflation Incentive Check, taxpayers must meet certain requirements:

• They must have filed a joint income tax return of up to $500,000 in 2020 or declared individual income of up to $250,000.
• They must have lived in California for at least six months in 2020 and still reside in the state at the time the payment was issued.
• Their tax return for the year 2020 must have been due before October 15, 2021.
• They must be eligible based on California's adjusted gross income levels.

If you meet these requirements and have not yet received your Inflation Incentive Check, you should take steps to receive the corresponding benefits.
