if it shows a refund amount for california and i'm not filing for a state refund because i moved out, does that mean i'm still getting a refund from california?

When did you move out of CA?   Did you live and/or work there for any part of 2025?

According to AI, if you lived in CA partially and moved out for the remaining of the year, and a refund is showing, you do have to file CA taxes one last time in order to receive the refund for partially earning income in CA.

You did not answer the question.  You were asked if you lived in CA for part of the year.    If you lived in CA for part of the year, then you file a part year return for CA, and a part year return for the state you moved to---if that new state has a state income tax.
