I’m sorry but as long as the state is issuing welfare checks then the refunds need to come before those do! Afterall they are the people who pay for those checks to be issued! If I were in CA right now I’d be upping my dependants until I owed about $100 a year to the state!
If I were in CA right now, I'd be asking myself: "What the he*l are you doing here?"
I got outta there 29 years ago. It was a he*l hole then. I just packed up the kids and everything I could get in a UHaul and headed back east. Never regretted it.

Not a bad idea for ALL of us - federal AND state. Don’t forget to count your home interest as equivalent dependants.
I think that is the number one point to be made here. To send money to welfare recipients before sending over-payments back to taxpayers is absolutely morally corrupt.
