California residents have until June 1, 2024, to claim unclaimed Middle-Class Tax Refund payments, totaling $125 million, from a Middle-Class Tax Refund program that faced significant system issues.
Claim Your Middle-Class Tax Refund Before June 1, 2024 – $125 Million Unclaimed Due to System Issues
According to the published article in The US Sun, California residents have just a few days left to claim money from a big relief fund. This program called the Middle-Class Tax Refund, was created in 2022 to help people with daily expenses. Payments between $200 and $1,050 were sent out, but $125 million and 624,000 debit cards still haven’t been claimed. If not claimed by June 1, 2024, this money will go back to the state’s General Fund.
Many people had trouble getting their money because of problems with the system. For example, Carlos Soliz, a student, got $700 on a debit card but couldn’t use it easily. He tried many times to get help but kept getting disconnected. This shows that the Middle-Class Tax Refund program had issues, and many people gave up trying to get their money.
