    • Earned between $1 and $30,000 in 2019
    • Have a social security number
    • Lived in California for more than half of 2019

    • Tax deadline has been extended to July 15, 2020

Economic Impact Payments

Up to $1200 per adult and $500 per child. Find out if you are eligible here.

Unemployment Benefits

Cash payments between $40 and $1050 per week for up to 39 weeks (amount depends on prior earnings). View this checklist of what you need to apply, then apply online here.
