The Golden State Stimulus program is part of a $ 7,6 billion quarantine aid package signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom on February 23. This package also includes billions of dollars in assistance to small businesses.

“California will not abandon those left behind by this federal relief,” Newsom said during the signing ceremony.

An estimated 5,7 million checks will be sent to low-income CalWorks, including families with children enrolled in the CalWORKS program, as well as the elderly, blind, and disabled receiving supplemental social income or the State Immigrant Cash Assistance Program.

“Lower-wage workers have often been on the front lines of service industries with high levels of COVID-19 exposure,” said Anthony Rendon. “This will help them make ends meet.”

The $ 3,8 billion payout program is the result of weeks of negotiations between lawmakers after Newsom first proposed the payout in January.
