California gas rebates may not arrive until late summer. Or even later
LA TimesAfter missing multiple self-imposed deadlines, Gov. “Our approach with the DMV was exclusively an approach of necessity because FTB can’t get these checks processed as they’re doing tax returns,” Newsom told The Times’ Editorial Board in late April. With annual tax refund checks to distribute and even some pandemic relief payments still unsettled, the governor said relying on the Franchise Tax Board could delay new cash rebates until at least October. “We’re still in fact sending out Golden State Stimulus checks even now,” Newsom told The Times’ Editorial Board. “All Californians are impacted by the growing costs of consumer goods and are deserving of relief.” Newsom’s original plan to focus on vehicle owners would exclude drivers whose registrations are not valid — a policy that anti-poverty advocates say would leave out people who are behind on DMV fees and could use the cash the most.
