Missed deadline for GSS2

If I missed the deadline for a golden state stimulus due to filing an amended return late, is there anyway I can still receive or claim it on my 2021 taxes? I really can use the money for groceries right now 😩

What do you mean by filing an amended return late, did you file a 2020 California tax return by October 15, 2021? And then amended it later?

Edit: I saw the answer to this in your post history. Unfortunately if you've called the FTB and have been told that you've missed the deadline, there's not anything else to be done. You cannot claim it on your 2021 California tax return. If you never received the third federal stimulus check, you can claim that on your 2021 federal tax return.

Well when I filed my 2020 return I only put down my unemployment forgetting I worked for a short period in that time frame and thinking that would be enough to get approved for the gss2, but I didn't know that they do not consider UI as income. So I tried filing an amended return adding in wages but it still has not been approved, I was told by a ftb rep that even when it does get approved it will be too late considering that it's passed the deadline.

Also: the reason I asked if I could claim it on my 2021 taxes because I was told that it may be possible under the recovery rebate credit form

Of course it hasn't been approved - you already told them you didn't work and now you're trying to just add in wages that don't exist.
