Who gets a check?
About 5.7 million people who earn less than $30,000 per year would get one-time payments. Those getting the $600 payments include households that received the California earned income tax credit in 2020.
Immigrants and others who lack Social Security Numbers but have Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITIN), income below $75,000 and were ineligible for recent federal payments would get $600 boosted to $1,200 if they also qualify for the California earned income tax credit.
The agreement widens Newsom’s original proposal in January for a Golden State Stimulus plan by also providing $600 to households in the CalWORKS public assistance program, who would receive the money by mid-April.

Ending the subminimum wage for tipped workers such as bartenders, waiters, and hairdressers would decrease poverty and inequality, a new analysis by the Center for American Progress shows.
The analysis looked at wages in the eight states that have already eliminated the tipped minimum wage California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Montana, Minnesota, Alaska and Hawaii finding that in those states workers and businesses in tipped industries “have done as well as or better than their counterparts in other states.”
As CAP points out, technically federal law requires employers to make up the difference between the tipped minimum wage, which is as low as $2.13 an hour in many states, and the actual minimum wage, which has remained at $7.25 per hour since 2009. But this law, like other laws relating to wage theft, is rarely enforced, leaving tipped employees at risk of being underpaid.
