I got a check from Californian 2 weeks ago for $4500. $2500 + $2000 for being considered "low income".
Anyone making less than $150k a year is considered low-income, its great!
Clean Vehicle Rebate Project - Currently the funding that was stopped on June 5th is back open as of the Sept 24th. They've been refunded and are paying people who were on the wait list. Apply now before it runs out again!
This is incorrect, and your disagree with the person who posted the information from the website is also incorrect. Look at the link that was posted. Under 150K is the limit to get the rebate AT ALL, not "Low income". So, anyone under 150k can get the apply for the rebate. To get the "increased" rebate for the "low income" you need to meet the threshholds posted.
Since sometimes people dont like to click the links, here is the text from the website. Its pretty clear:
======================================================
Income Cap for Higher–Income Consumers
Consumers are not eligible for CVRP rebates if their gross annual incomes are above the thresholds listed below. The income cap applies to all eligible vehicle types except fuel–cell electric vehicles.
Vehicle Date of Purchase/Lease* Income Cap
November 1 2016 – Present
- $150,000 for single filers
- $204,000 for head–of–household filers
- $300,000 for joint filers
Increased Rebate Levels for Low– and Moderate–Income Consumers
Consumers with household incomes less than or equal to 300 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount as listed below. The option to apply for an increased rebate is shown on the online application based on the income information the applicant provides. Applicants who are claimed as dependents are not eligible for increased rebates regardless of their income. Increased rebate amounts are available for fuel–cell electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and plug–in hybrid electric vehicles.
Vehicle Date of Purchase/Lease* Increased Rebate
November 1 2016 – Present Standard rebate amount** increased by $2,000
For the purposes of CVRP, a household includes all family members or other unrelated persons, including the rebate applicant, who reside together and share common living expenses. Income verification is completed for all members of the household ages 17 years and older. Note: Roommates who do not have a lease separate from the applicant are considered part of the applicant’s household.
The table below lists the Increased Rebate Household Income Limits effective July 1st 2019. These numbers are based on 300% of the 2019 Federal Poverty Level. For example, a family of 3 with a combined household income of less than $63,990 would qualify for the increased rebate.
2019 Increased Rebate Income Limits
Household Size Combined Household Income must be less than*:
1 $37,470
2 $50,730
3 $63,990
4 $77,250
5 $90,510
6 $103,770
7 $117,030
8 $130,290
For households with more than 8 persons, add $13,260 for each additional person.
*These values are equal to 300% of the 2019 Federal Poverty Level Guidelines
=====================================
So, no, under $150k is not considered "low income" for the purposes of this rebate from the state. People already think poorly enough of california, and people think everyone out here is rich as it is, lets not post false information about that.
What "under 150k" is, is eligible to get the rebate at all. If you have a family of 3, your income must be below 64k to be "low income"
