The state of California is sending $460 million more in inflation relief payments to low-income recipients of the CalEITC in 2023 — bringing the total to $845 million. The program provides tax credits and cash rebates to people who qualify through participation in CalFresh (food stamps), Medi-Cal, Foster Care, or CalWORKs.
Payments are based on income, filing status, and the number of dependents. Millions of Californians received their first inflationary payment this week — with many receiving $300 per child or $200 for single adults without children. They will receive a second payment on Oct. 22 and a third from the IRS by Jan 2023 with their federal income tax refunds.
