Checked the mail and I got an interesting piece of mail from CA government with a debit card inside. At first I thought it was a scam but upon a little research I found out it seems to be legit.




Overview
The Middle Class Tax Refund (MCTR) is a one-time payment to provide relief to Californians.

If you are eligible, you will automatically receive a payment. Payments are expected to be issued between October 2022 and January 2023.

For questions or to activate your card, visit the contact information on this page.

looks like my wife and I got $500. We are not going to use the card but instead will request that they send a check.

This is one of the “gifts “ Gavin announced in his campaign giveaways to ensure there remains little to no opposition……… but surprise , surprise , surprise now that the power brokers are back in place the state is is already 24 Billion give or take a billion in debt .This is before the added financial burden that is expected to hit when Title 24 is lifted . Some SoCal cities are calling foul as the state has indicated local municipalities will have to pick up the tab . When we elect clowns , we can only expect a circus

Bottom line this is just another "Steal from the 'rich' give to the poor" scheme.

And the REAL rich (card administering bankers) get a cut of every transaction the poor people make.

not qualified, had to live there in october 2022.

oh well, not giving those faggots anymore of my taxes is worth it.

Haven’t got anything like this yet.
Anyone else got a debit card like this?

I got a card in the mail yesterday. It was sent to my address in Texas and it wasn't forwarded - CA apparently knows I'm here now.

I'm not going to spend it though b/c I left CA in September and am going to claim TX residency from that date. If I spend it they might try to claim more in taxes than what's on the stupid card.

Then again, it doesn't expire for a few years so maybe I'll just let it sit. ;)

You mean steal from the middle class and give it to the rich and poor.

Our family income is around $200K. We get $500. Doesn't even cover inflation. They should have used it on infrastructure or something. Or maybe just lower the tax rate. Bottom line this is just another "Steal from the 'rich' give to the poor" scheme.


Yes, that actually causes inflation because it puts money into hands that would otherwise not have it, and most likely spend it on basic goods and services….. FGN!

Welfare queens shouldn't brag. That'll keep you in Colt 45 for few weeks.

Just for reference, my MCTR was deposited in my checking account a month or two ago. Was scratching my head for a couple of minutes trying to figure out who had given me a bunch of cash. And yes, I usually get a small refund from the state each year...

Check you can use to pay debt. Instead, they want you spend it to keep inflation rolling.

I think you can use the card at an atm to get cash, not 100% sure though

Confirmed, looked up nearest no-fee atm, less than a half a mile away, and got the full amount as cash. No hassle. Done.

Ok I looked at my banking history and found it. The MCT refund was issued on November 8th, direct deposited (probably since we’d used that to pay taxes and get refunds from California). $750!

That's why they sent us the card!

You only get a direct deposit if you had a state refund. We always have to pay a little so we don't have a bank registered for direct deposit from California.REpro says

Read the fine print, it says if you don't want the card they will send you a check in 2 to 3 months.

BUNCH OF FREELOADERS Y'ALL!!!

It's a tax rebate.

Pay in $20k. Get back 0.5k
34   Ceffer   2023 Jan 4, 7:46pm  

Oh, yeah, got MCT 700 buckaroonies in October. Didn't even notice it DD. I guess I'm a welfare queen, too. Line up those cases of Colt 45, and the glitter nail parlor.

Doesn't anyone balance their check book any more?
