A large number of migrants residing in California live in households of mixed status but failed to claim federal stimulus checks or unemployment benefits .
California has tried to make up for these missed payments by making tax filers count with a tax identification number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security number can receive stimulus checks issued by the state .
The ITIN allows residents file taxes regardless of immigration status.
In case you file your taxes using an ITIN and if your annual gross income is less than $ 75, 000 dollars and you are in charge of a dependent , you can receive a $ 1 stimulus check, 000 Dollars.
During the first round of checks issued by the state of California in the spring that had an ITIN they were eligible to receive a check for $ 600 dollars.

However, if you received a check during the first round, you will not receive another unless the person with the ITIN is in charge of a financial dependent.
If you still do not have an ITIN, you are still in time to claim this benefit by filing a tax return with the CTFB.
