Next week, a new batch of direct payments in the range of $200 and $1,050 will be distributed. Beginning on Monday, January 30, qualified Californians will start receiving the new payments.
The Middle Class Tax Refund has so far distributed almost $9 billion to qualified taxpayers. In October 2022, the one-time payments first became available.
Either debit cards or direct deposits were used to send the money. Debit cards will be sent to individuals whose addresses have changed since filing their 2020 tax return for the last round of payments.

Californians have been getting their MCTR payments by debit card or direct transfer. Eligible taxpayers who e-filed their 2020 CA tax return and got their CA tax refund by direct deposit will get direct deposit payments.
