Why Are Californians Receiving This Money?
California's inflation relief payments are part of the $308 billion state budget approved last month by California lawmakers.
“We did tax refunds because we value dollars in your bank account versus pennies at the pump,” said Assemblymember Phil Ting, chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, told the Associated Press.
The inflation relief package amounts to $17 billion of California’s budget, providing relief to millions of taxpayers.
“California’s budget addresses the state’s most pressing needs, and prioritizes getting dollars back into the pockets of millions of Californians who are grappling with global inflation and rising prices of everything from gas to groceries," Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) said in a joint statement last month.
