MORNING BRIEFINGS
Daily Edition for Wednesday, June 2, 2021. June 2, 2021 70% Of Adult Californians Have Received At Least One Jab: One month ahead of the target date set by the Biden administration, California has now at least partially vaccinated 70% of its adult residents against covid-19. Clearing that hurdle is a vital development as the state prepares to fully reopen later this month. CALIFORNIANS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE WILL PAY A PENALTY If you aren’t covered and owe a penalty for 2020, it will be due when you file your tax return in 2021. The penalty will amount to $695 for an adult and half that much for dependent children. Some people with higher incomes instead will have to pay 2.5% of their income, which could make their penalty quite a bit heftier..
