Stimulus Checks 2022: States including Illinois, Virginia, South Carolina & New York Sending Cash; Are you eligible?

The United States has recently experienced the highest rates of inflation in more than 40 years. The most current synopsis of the Consumer Price Index shows that the interannual rate rise was 8.2% in September. Due to the high cost of living, numerous US states have authorized issuing tax rebates or stimulus checks.

These checks, a few of which are being sent in states where Republicans are in power, come several GOP leaders have sought to attribute high inflation to the stimulus payments that Democrats approved in Congress under the American Rescue Plan in March 2021.

The state legislature gave the go-ahead to deliver the Middle-Class Tax Refund of up to $1,050. From this month until January of the following year, payments will be sent.
