There is no "state surplus." That's money they took from you and me and should have refunded since they didn't need it for the budget. It never was and never has been "their money." It's ours.
I didn’t get mine, so I just believe that I’m not going to get it. I never got the Golden State stimulus last year, and apparently my group is the next in line to get this. My motto is: do not believe it until it’s physically in your hands. I’m just going to treat it like I’m not getting it until I do.
Yup. i agree. My mom got her back in late Oct and i'm still waiting. I help by breath then decided to breath again lol. we just moved to Vegas, so ehh oh well if i don't get it.
No, not everyone. It's been very slow and sent at different times. I qualify and I have not received it yet. I file electronically and still have not received a direct deposit.
Lol if you actually LOOKED UP anything about this, you'd know not every received direct deposit payment. Others, such as myself, received the CARD because my financial institution changed everyone's bank account numbers. The rules for receiving payment clearly indicates direct deposits AND debit cards.
I have filed electronically for many years and receive a return direct deposited. I definitely qualified for this to be direct deposited. But received nothing. I called the Money Network card and it was EXTREMELY hard to get a live agent to check to see if I'd been sent this card instead. The person that I first got barely understood me and told me, I'd been sent this card about 5 weeks earlier. I was concerned so I had her cancel it and reissue. A week later I thought I'd touch base to see when the reissue was sent out, this time, an agent said it hadn't been reissued or sent. So she requested the reissue and told me I'd get it on Nov. 29. She said it would not be the card ending in ****. On Nov. 28, I received the FIRST card, ending in ****. I thought, well maybe that was a mistake and tried to activate it and wasn't able to. I waited a couple days and called again. The lady said, indeed, the card I received, was the one that had been cancelled and that the reissue was ordered to be sent out on Nov. 14 and it takes 7-14 business days to receive. Taking into consideration the Thanksgiving holiday, I estimated that I would get it at latest this past Friday, maybe this coming Monday. So we'll see..but for some reason, I doubt it. The last agent said if it is not to me by the Dec 12, to call again and have them reissue it.. At this point, I feel it may be better to wait on that. One agent said they (the call reps) haven't been receiving proper updates, so, I don't want to confuse the *system*. 🙄

I'm going to my bank.. This is one crazy way they've issued these... Then you can't buy Gas?!? 🙄 Isn't it cheaper to send a check out to everyone. Rather than a plastic debit card?
Stop complaining. Be grateful. It's free money. Just use the card wisely and be smart avoid the fees. I used mines for Costco, worked great and no extra fees.
I received the card and grateful for the $350. It works great at super markets however, It does not work at gas stations. I tried 4 different gas stations and no luck!
@@PistolArrow76 yes, you can. Like if you use it at the market, you can press the option for cash back. It is used like a debit card, with a pin you choose. It however does not have a chip on it. So, you can only slide it, to use it
Normally the debit card would not work at gas station machine because you did not do the transaction with the cashier when the balance felt below a certain amount ($120 or $100 or something like that). If you have, for example, $20 left in the debit card (and there is no pre-authorized amount being withhold) the cashier would be able to charge you $20 and the transaction would go through.
lts not "given nor gifted", unless you never worked for it and/or paid no taxes. Its money being "returned" for those of us who paid a tax, on inflated gas prices, when we purchased gas for our cars. The oil companies, are who should be made to give the overcharged back. Bc soon taxes would have to increase to cover the expense of having done this, it cost money to return money, just as its explained in the video. But in the interest of fairness, we agree to be fooled, and twice! ...pay a fee back to a third party for accepting your gas tax to be returned/refunded.
@@beezb728 I was just trying to stir stuff up lol I apologize you felt motivated to type that lengthy reply. Guess my sarcasm is difficult to differentiate
A lot of people don't realize that, despite the title bestowed on it by California's politicians, this is NOT a "tax refund" nor a tax credit. It is a FEDERALLY-TAXABLE (unsolicited) transfer payment from the state to taxpayers.
This is a great story BUT no phone number is given for Money Network to call to opt out of this agreement. The paperwork they send says to call customer service but when you call the number given you are given no option to speak with an agent. So who do you really call?
At 1:45, is it the scam one that asks for the last 6 digits of your social security number or is it the legit one that asks that? Couldn’t tell from the video since he said what not to do right before mentioning the last 6 digits of social security.
BUT, if you're a senior citizen who doesn't file taxes, you won't get the card. I don't pay taxes anymore because I don't make enough money on social security.
I won't see a penny. Wondering what happens to the money that people don't receive. That's right, it will sit in a bank and collect interest, win win for the government.
It is really not that confusing, honestly. There is a costumer service number on the card and also on the card, the name of the website you can go to to active the card
I almost did the same think I was going to put it in the trash can but I pone it and it was a$300 tax refund card I didn’t believe it so I call and found out it was real !!!!😮
To answer her question at the end of the video the reason why they charge you is so that they can make their money back it's all Monopoly the government probably paid a business to send out the cards and the business makes their money back from the transactions fees
