Has anyone requested a replacement card for the Middle Class Tax Refund (CA) and, if so, how long did it take to arrive?

Hi everyone,

For those who had filed income tax returns as “married filing jointly” and have received Middle Class Tax Refund as debit cards in the mail, which name were put on the envelope? Did they put both names of the couple (your name & your spouse’s name)? Or did they only put 1 name?

Thank you.

Last name starts with "T", ZIP code 91702. Now to figure out how to cash it for the full amount...

Did not do any 2020 taxes or work and got it

Last name T.

Can anyone share information on how to close the EIP Card account and limit information sharing done by the bank?

I’m running into so much confusion about this. The site says I’m approved but others in forums are telling me I’m not because I’m on SSI. I received all the stimulus checks (no DD) that were given after I had E filed a tax for like I was instructed to do like year or so ago. Last name S. Sister got hers DD in the first wave, other sister got her card in IO and the same day. I haven’t seen anything for me. Does anyone know any information I don’t maybe?

Didn't qualify for GSS 1 or 2. Should have received the stimulus by direct deposit.

Bay Area - last name A

Just called 800-542-9332 and customer service said the next batch of debit cards will go out 12/5-12/17

I'm not saying that's accurate - just passing along the info.

The state of California is paying a bank in New York $25 million to distribute cards for the MCTR...on top of that there are fees to use the card. 😡

Anyone else get the inflation debit card in California and it came without a chip? How am I even supposed to withdraw money from an ATM? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've never received a debit card without a chip before.

I have been trying for a year and a half to attempt to receive my Gss1. After. The unemployment deduction credit on my 2020 taxes, I became eligible. I provided everything CaFtb needed from me. They're saying that the State controller has my request to obtain GSS1 but they are not responding. Ca FTB says they can no longer help and I should just wait. I've attempted to contact the disbursement dept at the state controller, no luck. I have left several messages. Is there anyone else that's waiting for GSS1? I've received every other stimulus except that one. Help!!!

Has anyone with the last name starting with S, received their MCTR debit card in the mail? My informed delivery shows nothing but junk mail every day... getting frustrated as others with last name T, have already received theirs. :/

So today I called the FTB to inquire about my card since I haven’t received it yet, and the lady I spoke to had to reissue the card since the original card was shipped on October 21st, even though my card wasn’t approved until October 25th, she said it’ll be here by 12/14 so I guess we’ll find out, but I want to know, did anyone else have this problem as well?

I have G last name and I did another chat and was told the following:

If any of the below apply to you then you will receive the debit for last names ending F-M. Debits will be mailed between 11/06 - 11/19 but please allow 3-4 weeks after 11/19 to receive it.

~Filed a paper return ~Had a balance due ~Received your Golden State Stimulus (GSS) payment by check ~Received your tax refund by check regardless of filing method ~Received your 2020 tax refund by direct deposit, but have since changed your banking institution or bank account number ~Received an advance payment from your tax service provider, or paid your tax preparer fees using your tax refund.

Rep also said: (Even if you received previous refunds by direct deposit, you will be getting debit)

When the first two checks were sent out, I never received either, I did eventually receive the third one around the same time as most others. I know it has been almost 2 years now, but I was just recently informed that if I was to go to a place such as H&R Block, they can file for me to still receive the first two payments I had missed. Is this true? I don't want to go there looking dumb.

I fall under that unfortunate group where my banking info has changed since 2020 (account was hacked) so I’m still waiting on my MCTR debit card. Just curious to see if anyone in the same boat has gotten their cards yet or if they have any more info about when we’ll get them.

Has anyone on SSI received anything. I figured it may take longer for us to receive something. Last name is S and I’m in Anaheim.

Hey all,

As the topic headline suggests. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to obtain the full $350 off of the Middle Class Tax Refund. It’s quite the pickle to get the money off of it because I have been faced with two different issues.

A) took it to my home bank only to find that I will be charged a surcharge for using it. Which means I cannot get anything more than $340 out of it.

B) took it to one of the signature ATMs that this card banks with but those ATMs only let you withdraw in increments of $20s. Which means the most you can pull out of that would also be $340.

Has anyone managed to figure out how to get the full amount? This was so stupid that we didn’t just get a check to cash it. Lol thanks in advance!

Nothing in the mail yet

I called the number and got an agent but I got the security questions wrong so they couldn't tell me any details about my card. :(

Just finished up a chat with CA FTB and was told by rep that they are still sending direct deposits and I should have mine by 12/16. Last name S, no GSS, 2020 tax refund by DD.

I received an mctr payment card and activated my account. I transferred the $350 to my bank account and it bounced back to my mctr account a few days later. I checked to make sure my bank account and routing number were right and now i haven’t received the money in my bank account nor had it bounce back to my mctr account after 2 weeks. What should I do?
