California
Beginning in October, Californians will get inflation relief checks of up to $1,050 either directly or through a debit card. By January 15, 2023, 95% of the payments should have been distributed, with the rest being distributed at that time.
California residents will be paid based on their income, their filing status, and the number of children they have. Persons filing as single and with an income of $250,000 or more will not be eligible for the payments, nor will couples with an income of $500,000 or more.

Colorado residents who filed their 2021 tax return by June 30 and received a physical check for $750 by September 30 are eligible for the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) amendment (joint filers receive $1,500).
The law signed by Gov. Jared Polis in May accelerated the refunds’ processing, resulting in almost half of them being issued by late August. Filers who were granted an extension and filed by October 17 will receive their refunds on January 31, 2023.
Delaware
All Delaware residents who filed their 2020 tax returns before Gov. John Carney signed the Delaware Relief Rebate Program in April received a $300 stimulus check. Even if you filed jointly, you should have received a payment by May.
Florida
According to Governor Ron DeSantis (R), nearly 60,000 Florida families received $450 one-time payments for each child ‘to offset the escalating price of inflation.’ To receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (which is also known as welfare), you must be a foster parent, a nonrelative or relative caretaker, or a guardianship assistance program participant.
The Florida Department of Children and Families says refunds should have been available in time for the state’s ‘back to school’ sales tax holiday, which ran from July 25 to August 7. You do not have to apply to gain this benefit.
Georgia
In March, Georgia governor Brian Kemp signed a law that allows for rebates to be given to 2019 and 2020 state tax filers. Single filers received $250, household heads received $375, and married couples filing jointly received $500 on May 15.
Individuals who paid little or no income taxes, or persons who paid taxes, child support, or other payments, may have received a smaller rebate. Those who filed their 2021 Georgia state tax return by April 18 should have received their rebate by early August, according to the department’s website.
Hawaii
Taxpayers in Hawaii might have received their tax rebate payments on September 9, according to experts. They will receive physical checks in late October, however. According to experts, those making less than $100,000 in 2021, or $200,000 if they file jointly, will have a $300 rebate this year.
Dependents, too, will receive the rebate. A family of four could receive $1,200. Those who make more than $100,000 and those who make more than $200,000 will receive a one-time $100 payment. Payments were distributed beginning September 9, according to Gov. David Inge.
Those who received their first refund by check or who filed after July 31 will receive theirs later. Because the check stock has not arrived, physical checks will not be distributed until late October, according to Governor David Ige.
Montana and Idaho
Beginning in March, residents may verify whether they are eligible for the $75 rebate on their state income tax return or the 12% rebate on their 2020 state income tax return by checking the status online. Governor Brad Little signed a bill providing the rebate back in February.
Illinois
Beginning July 1, Illinois’ $1.83 billion bailout package, which includes income and property tax rebates as well as temporary reductions in several sales taxes, will be distributed from September to November.
From September to November 2021, Illinois will distribute rebates of $50 for those earning less than $200,000 and rebates of $100 for those earning less than $400,000. In addition, a maximum of $300 per family may be paid for each of the three dependents claimed on the tax return, up to a maximum of $300 per family.
Checks were mailed out the week of September 12, 2019, and will be sent out over an eight-week period. Illinois’ sales tax on groceries will be suspended from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, as well as the Earned Income Credit, which will increase from 18% to 20% of the federal credit. Gov. J.B.
Pritzker’s Family Relief Plan includes several tax holidays and rebates, including a suspension of the state’s sales tax on groceries from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
Indiana
Indiana’s $125 taxpayer rebate is available to all Hoosiers, regardless of income, thanks to the state’s automatic refund law. Governor Eric Holcomb told Fox 59 that the delay in distributing printed checks to the 1.7 million taxpayers who did not provide banking information was because of a delay in paper supply.
Payments were sent out in May. During the wait, the Indiana Legislature added a surcharge of $200 per check. By early October, the state will print a combined $325 for individual filers or $650 for joint filers on one paper check. Individual checks will be issued until then.
If you haven’t received your rebate by November 1, contact the Indiana Department of Revenue.
Minnesota
Emergency responders, healthcare professionals, judges, and Minnesota’s retail employees are eligible for a one-time $750 payment. More than 1.2 million workers applied for the frontline bonus check by July 22, according to the Duluth News Tribune.
If more than 667,000 applicants are accepted, the $750 payment will be reduced. Applicants should be notified in mid-August and the payments will be made shortly after. The governor has also requested a special legislative session to pass a $1,000 individual income tax rebate and a $2,000 rebate for couples earning less than $275,000, respectively.
Tim Walz, a Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party member, has proposed a $1,000 rebate for each family earning less than $275,000. The Republicans consider it a gimmick to win votes.
It’s unconscionable that we’re sitting on money in our bank accounts, and we can immediately send it to Minnesota families in cash, according to Walz, as reported in the Duluth News Tribune.
New York
An average of $425 was saved by New York City homeowners who received a $1,050 property-tax rebate in June. On the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website, eligibility information is available for those who received a check automatically.
A law signed by Mayor Eric Adams recently provides New York City homeowners with a one-time property-tax rebate of up to $150. New York City households with one-, two-, or three-family homes that earn no more than $250,000 in 2020 may receive a rebate if they live there.
If a homeowner received a STAR credit or exemption during the Fiscal Year 2023, they will receive a rebate automatically beginning in late August. In November, those who were not eligible for the STAR exemption and thought they were may file an application.
Rebate checks should be distributed in the fall. The Department of Finance will provide instructions on how to establish your eligibility if they don’t have sufficient income information.
Pennsylvania
In July, more than 260,000 senior homeowners, renters, and persons with disabilities began receiving a portion of $121.7 million in Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program payments. Residents should file an application with MyPath or consult the website before the December 31, 2022 deadline to ensure that payments are sent directly to their bank accounts or by check.
There is a maximum rebate of $650 for all taxpayers. However, for qualifying homeowners, the rebate may be as much as $975 thanks to supplemental rebates (the department will automatically calculate the extra rebates for qualified applicants).
To check the status of your rebate, enter your Social Security number, birthday, and the year you claimed it in the Where’s My Rebate? tool from the state government.
