Many American states still provide their citizens with stimulus checks to support them.
Massachusetts
How much: The exact amount has not been confirmed yet. It’s estimated to be about 13% of the recipient’s 2021 Massachusetts income tax liability.
Who: Residents who file their 2021 return by October 17, 2022.
When: Payments are expected to begin in November 2022.
New Jersey
How much: Property tax rebates under the ANCHOR Tax Relief Program depend on your income and whether you’re an owner or a renter.
- Homeowners with a 2019 household income of $150,000 or less will receive $1,500.
- Homeowners with household income from $150,001 to $250,000 will receive $1,000.
- Qualified renters (income of $150,000 or less) will get a $450 rebate.
Who: New Jersey residents who owned or rented a primary home in the state on October 1, 2019. Homeowners can’t have a 2019 household income above $250,000. The limit for renters is $150,000.
Some New Jersey residents could also receive Middle-Class Tax Rebates of up to $500 in 2022. These payments began in 2021, but qualified residents can still receive compensation once they file a 2020 New Jersey income tax return.
When: Payments will start being sent in late spring 2023 (no later than May 2023). Applications will be accepted until December 30, 2022.
The official website says:
Attention ANCHOR Applicants
The deadline for filing your ANCHOR benefit application is December 30, 2022. We will begin paying ANCHOR benefits in the late Spring of 2023.
ANCHOR payments will be paid in the form of a direct deposit or check, not as credits to property tax bills. Homeowners who filed a Homestead Benefit application last year may be able to obtain their ID and PIN numbers online. Tenants do not need an ID or PIN number to file.
Visit the Division’s ANCHOR page for all filing information. Due to high call volume, the ANCHOR and Homestead Benefit Hotline may be unable to take your call at certain times.
If that occurs, please try your call at another time. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Pennsylvania
How much: For eligible homeowners, the property tax/rent rebate amounts range from $250 to $650. For renters, the standard rebate is either $500 or $650.
Certain seniors can get a refund as high as $975. For those who received a property tax rebate last year, their 2022 rebate is reduced to 70% of the 2021 amount.
Who: The state’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate program is for Pennsylvanians over 65 years old, a widow(er) at least 50 years old, or a person with disabilities at least 18 years old. There’s also an annual income limit: $35,000 for homeowners and $15,000 for renters (50% of your Social Security benefits are excluded).
When: Checks were delivered starting August 2022. Payments will continue into 2023, and you have until the year-end to apply.
