Maine’s “COVID Pandemic Relief Payments” will be sent to full-year residents who (1) file a 2021 Maine income tax return by October 31, 2022.
Who’s Eligible:
(2) can’t be claimed as a dependent on anyone else’s Maine tax return; and (3) have a 2021 federal adjusted gross income under $100,000 (single filers and married taxpayers filing separate returns), $150,000 (head-of-household filers), or $200,000 (joint filers and surviving spouses).
The Maine Homeowner Assistance Fund is a free, federal relief program for homeowners financially impacted by Covid-19 who are behind on their mortgage, housing, property tax or utility payments.

Amount:
The relief payments are $850 per person ($1,700 for a married couple).
When Sent:
The state began sending payments in June. However, they will continue to send payments through 2022 as additional 2021 tax year returns are filed (residents have until October 31, 2022, to file their 2021 Maine tax return). Use the Maine Revenue Services’ online tool (opens in a new tab) to check your payment status.
