An estimated 23 million Californians are expected to receive an inflation relief payment of at least $200 between October and January.
The first round of direct deposit payments started going out Oct. 7.
Direct deposits and debit cards will continue being disbursed through January.
The Franchise Tax Board released new dates on Monday for some debit card recipients (see the payment timeline below.)

The payments come after lawmakers in June approved the Middle Class Tax Refund — a direct response to inflation taking a toll on Americans' wallets, especially in the California, where gas is over $6 per gallon and every day grocery items cost more than ever before.
Eligible Californians will receive $200 to $1,050, depending on tax filing status and income.
The first round of prepaid debit cards were mailed out at the end of October.
Below is a breakdown of California's current timeline for payment disbursement.
When Will I Receive My Debit Card in the Mail?
If you received a Golden State Stimulus payment:
| Eligible Recipients | Expected Mailing Date |
| Californians with last name beginning with A to E | Oct. 24, 2022 to Nov. 5, 2022 |
| Californians with last name beginning with F to M | Nov. 6, 2022 to Nov. 19, 2022 |

Will I Still Receive a Direct Deposit If I Haven't Gotten it Already?
The short answer — yes. But it depends on a few factors.
Californians who received a Golden State Stimulus check should receive a direct deposit by Tuesday, Oct. 25.
If you did not receive the Golden State Stimulus, but are still eligible for the inflation relief payment, you should see the direct deposit between Oct. 28 and Nov. 14, according to the state,
