The money the governor is proposing to add to $ 600 in federal payments approved by Congress in December 2020, which, according to the governor's office, will receive approximately 4 million Californians.

Unlike federal money, illegal immigrants will be eligible for California payments.

Newsom's proposal is part of a broader economic aid plan that includes an extension of the state's moratorium on evictions, which will expire on January 31. If it continues, renters facing financial hardship due to the pandemic will be protected from eviction as long as they pay at least 25% of their rent.
