There have been more than eight million Golden State Stimulus II payments issued or announced in California, a spokesperson has confirmed, and these are worth more nearly $5.8 billion.

Golden State Stimulus checks

The state of California introduced the Golden State stimulus checks were offered to eligible people earlier in 2021 to taxpayers who had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The Golden State Stimulus will provide a measure of relief to California taxpayers deeply affected by the pandemic," Betty T. Yee, California's State Controller and Franchise Tax Board chair, said in a May 2021 press release.

"This stimulus, combined with the California Earned Income Tax Credit, will provide hundreds or even thousands of dollars to many individuals and families in need."

After the current set of payments go out, the last round is scheduled to be issued between December 27 and January 11, with this applying to those with a ZIP code ending in 928-999.
