The payments are on top of the third round of stimulus checks of $ 1,400 currently being issued by the federal government.

State officials have determined that among eligible residents are those who have received California Earned Income Tax Credit.
Individuals who qualify for the EITC and also file their taxes using a unique tax identification number will receive an additional $ 600 which means their check is $ 1,200.

“You can receive this payment when you receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) or submit a unique tax identification number (ITIN),” said the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB).
“You have to include your ITIN in your tax return,” advises the FTB.

TAX RETURN PROCESSED
The FTB warns that an Eligible Resident will not receive their payment until their taxes have been filed.
New batches of payments are processed twice a month.
According to Newsweek, the first information on eligible residents was sent to FTB on April 15, including those who had filed taxes by March 1.
Residents who filed taxes between March 2 and April 23 should expect to receive the $ 600 stimulus payment in May.

For those who haven’t filed taxes by April 23rd, they should allow their return to be processed first.
After that you should have 45 days for the stimulus payments to be processed and issued by FTB.
