About 23 million Californians will be eligible to receive $1,050 checks under a new inflation relief package, the governor announced June 26.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) agreed to allocate $17 billion from the state’s budget toward inflation relief. Part of that fund, about $9.5 billion, will go toward direct payments to residents.
