California Form 1099-G –- mailing requirement

The California Franchise Tax Board website says Federal law requires the FTB to mail a Form 1099-G to taxpayers who “itemized and received a refund”.

1. Does that mean itemized deductions on the federal tax return?
2. And if you didn’t itemize deductions on the federal tax return, does that mean the FTB will not send you a Form 1099-G -- even though you did receive a refund?

I can’t find anything that mentions California having gone paperless/electronic with their Form 1099-G delivery.

I’m trying to understand why I have not been receiving any Form 1099-G’s.

Thanks.
