When is the next round of golden state stimulus

If you are still waiting to get your Golden State Stimulus payment, you will want to watch your mail in the coming weeks.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Millions of taxpayers in California will be getting a holiday bonus in the next few weeks as the state sends out the final rounds of Golden State Stimulus payments. Most eligible people will receive between $600-$1,100.

The next round of checks will be sent in the mail starting Nov. 29. These checks will go to qualified people who did not get a direct deposit and live in a zip code ending between 585-719. The Franchise Tax Board, which issues the stimulus payments, said paper checks can take up to three weeks to arrive.

The state of California is in the process of sending Golden State Stimulus payments to about 9 million eligible people. The state has already finished sending nearly all the direct deposit payments with the rest being sent via check in the mail. 

The FTB hopes to have most of the payments out by the end of the year.

Pending ITIN

While the tax deadline has passed for most filers, people with a pending Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may have more time. Here is the latest guidance from the FTB:

If you’re waiting for your ITIN from the IRS, do not file your tax return yet. You must apply for your ITIN on or before October 15, 2021 to receive the GSS I and GSS II. Wait until you have your ITIN. Your tax return must include your ITIN to qualify for the stimulus payment. Most qualified recipients have until October 15, 2021 to file their tax return. Visit Extension to file for more information.

However, if you applied for but have not received an ITIN by October 15, 2021, you have until February 15, 2022 to file your return and still be eligible to receive the GSS I and GSS II.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday unveiled a sweeping $286 billion budget proposal for the 2022 budget year.

While the budget as proposed does not include another round of Golden State Stimulus checks, the governor left open the possibility for more tax rebates this year as the state figures out what to do with its massive budget surplus — one potentially large enough to exceed California’s constitutional limit.

Here’s why the answer, at least for now, can’t be answered with a simple yes or no.

In the instances after the ceiling is reached, the state must return money to taxpayers. That’s because of Proposition 4 — also known as the “Gann limit” —a ballot measure approved by voters in 1979.

Last year was just the second time California soared above the limit since it was established, the Associated Press reported, and that effectively triggered the largest state tax rebate in U.S. history.

The Golden State Stimulus program gave back about $12 billion to taxpayers, with payments of up to $1,100 still being issued, Newsom said.

For this budget year, which begins July 1, the state’s Legislative Analyst Office is once more projecting a budget surplus, this time to the tune of at least $31 billion.

As of the January budget, California expects to exceed the “Gann limit” by $2.6 billion, according to the governor. Approximately half of the money will go toward education, and the rest back to taxpayers.

But whether they will be distributed in the form of stimulus checks: there’s no yes or no answer just yet.

“That’s an open-ended question,” Newsom responded when asked about the prospects of such payments.

At least part of the reason is that the projected figure “will … most likely substantially change between now and May,” which is when the revised budget for the upcoming fiscal year is due. “So we are awaiting more contemporary information and data, more reflected of what is currently happening before we had to put this budget to bed to ultimately make that determination.”

And ultimately, he believes that “yes,” taxpayers will receive some form of contribution.

“What form … and to what degree in terms of total amounts of dollars will be determined more closely in May,” Newsom said.

In 2021, the governor’s initial budget proposal included what became known as Golden State Stimulus I. An expanded version of the program that brought checks to millions of more residents was unveiled in June and ultimately included in the 2021-2022 budget signed by Newsom in July.
