Short answer: California has had stimulus-like programs in the past, but as of now there is no ongoing statewide stimulus direct payment program component specifically labeled as California stimulus checks for 2025. The major California Golden State Stimulus programs (I and II) are complete, and no new payments have been issued since mid-2022, though some temporary programs or pilot initiatives for low-income families have existed in certain counties or under specific state budgets.
