More than one million Americans are set to receive a stimulus check in the mail worth $270 on average. Officials say that 1.75million New Yorkers will get the bill by October 31.
The payment is part of a $475million relief package introduced by New York lawmakers last month.
Americans will either receive an Empire State child credit, an earned income tax credit, or both.
Americans are eligible if they received at least $100 from either or both payments during the 2021 tax year.
They must’ve filed their income state tax return by April 18, 2022, unless they’ve been granted an extension.
Checks will include one or both payments, with the minimum amount issued being $25.
The Empire State child credit payment is anywhere from 25 percent to 100 percent of the card amount for your 2021 taxes and is based on your income. And the earned income credit payment is 25 percent of the amount that New Yorkers received in 2021.
The relief does not need to be reported on New Yorkers’ state income tax returns for 2022.
Hochul said: “This program will put money back in the pockets of nearly two million New York families struggling to make ends meet in the face of the pandemic, inflation, and other rising costs.”
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastle added: “This will put money back into the pockets of hard-working families who have been struggling with the already high cost of child care, along with rising costs at the grocery and the gas pump.”
The check should arrive by October 31 but may be delayed if officials require additional information.
Meanwhile, refunds worth between $200 and $1,050 are being issued in California.
The first round of payments started heading to Californians on October 7.
Around 23 million people will be sent Middle-Class Tax Refunds in total.
