SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Millions of poor and middle-class Californians would get tax rebates of up to $1,100 under a proposal unveiled Monday by Democratic Gov.
Gavin Newsom, as part of a broader pandemic recovery plan made possible by an eye-popping $75 billion budget surplus. Individuals and households making between $30,000 and $75,000 a year would get a $600 payment.
All households making up to $75,000 with at least one child, including immigrants in the country illegally who file taxes, would get an extra $500 payment. “Direct stimulus checks going into people's pockets — that direct relief, that's meaningful," Newsom said during an event in Oakland to announce the plan.
