hey guys want to give you a quick update on the newly passed golden state stimulus phase two this
was just passed by the california legislature and has been sent to governor newsom very signature
i don't have it that he's actually signed it but there's no doubt that he will so
guys this is a foregone conclusion and i want to give the updates on how this is going to work
this is really important if you've already received your 600 payment for the golden state
stimulus you will not get a second payment okay what they're doing with this expansion program is
they're expanding the ability for those people within california and they're expecting this
to impact up to two-thirds of all people that live in california to receive this 600 payment
and potentially if you have dependents to receive an additional 500 for that dependent and that's a
one-time only 500 payment there won't be multiple payments for multiple dependent dependents
so here's how it works you must have filed your 2020 tax return and if you haven't done that yet
you only have until october 15th of this year to do this so guys like they're moving quick on this
because they know the first time that it came out the payments weren't sent out fast enough and they
know they had some problems getting that rolled out so get your taxes done really quick and you
know it's easy to do you can go to turbo tax you can do it online for free you know if you haven't
got a simple tax return it shouldn't take you long to get that pulled together now get your taxes
done the next thing that you need to be aware of is that with this expansion what they're doing is
they're raising the cap in terms of how many people can be eligible and that's based on what
your agi is you're your adjusted gross income now what they've done with this new expansion is that
if you've made 75 000 or less you're eligible all right that's it you have to have made at least
sorry less than 75 000 but at a minimum you must have made one dollar in the tax year 2020.
if you fit that criteria you will receive the 600 payment from the state of california now the next
thing is that there's a kicker onto this if you have dependents so if you have children or anyone
that you're caring for and you've listed them as a dependent on your tax return you will receive 500
for that dependent and that's not a question of how many dependents you have it's one time only
you will receive 500 so if you filed your taxes you have less than 75 000 in agi and you have a
dependent your maximum allotment from the golden state stimulus will be eleven hundred dollars in
total this is great news and we don't know exactly when this is going to be coming out but there's an
absolute push and i've seen some of the language within the bill itself they're going to be trying
to get this out by july 15th so guys again if you haven't done your taxes they're not going to be
able to pay you so if you need any help with the taxes let me know in the comments i can point you
through some free resources and i'll make sure that you know how to do that it's pretty easy
to do so guys that's a great program it's coming out they're trying to move quickly on this but
you guys have to do some work on your side which includes getting those taxes knocked out making
sure that you qualify and that you are actually a state of california resident right uh and you
have to be here for at least six months in the year 2020. so with that said i hope that answers
some basic questions that you have in the golden state stimulus i want to quickly talk about for
those of you that are having some difficulty with your unemployment claims so look a lot of you are
having difficulty getting you know out of pending status or keeping those payments coming in on a
weekly basis and there's a lot of changes coming up here right they've done some automations in
terms of benefit year-end cycles they've also you know made some changes coming up here july 11 for
work searches and i cover those my other videos but i'm telling you guys right now if you're not
getting paid or you haven't been getting paid for you know weeks or months i'm going to be putting
up here you know just a couple testimonials of people that are using a paid service called
claimer right claimer is a very inexpensive option what it does is that it gets through to edd for
you so you don't have to call right we give you up to five callbacks in order to reach edd in
case you get disconnected or in case you have difficulty you know with transfer between tier
one and tier two reps and it's really important guys that you realize that this is why the phone
systems are so busy it's not because we're calling all the time it's because so many people are using
the calling method to get through and get their claims paid faster and as you can see from the
testimonials that i'm sharing here right people that are able to take the time and use an option
like claim or at least call and reach an agent i don't really care how you do it they're able
to get their claims out of these situations we've been waiting weeks or months and they're moving
this into a place where their claims are being taken care of within 24 to 48 hours in many cases
and this is where you guys want to be you want to be working with an agent that can help you okay
and by getting them to help you by building that relationship with them by being kind to them by
you know thanking them for what they're doing knowing that they have a very stressful job
they're working many hours you're able to have someone that's actually able to take some time
give you a little bit more effort for your claim and all the time that you've taken to try and call
and they're able to go ahead and fix the glitches that are in your claim or they can transfer you
to someone that can so i hope these testimonials give you a little bit of confidence right there's
a lot of people that are doing this and they're getting their claims paid faster and a lot of them
are you know unfortunately regrettable that they haven't used this before because they've just been
sitting in the waiting game and that's what i'm saying guys don't wait for these payments don't
wait for the golden state stimulus to show up on your doorstep it's not gonna it's not gonna
happen you have to take some actions it's the same thing with your edd unemployment claim pua as well
you have to take action you need to call okay anyways i hope this video helps
