Since millions of people were forced into poverty or suffered a sharp decline in their income due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the landscape of US welfare on both a federal and state level has undergone a radical upheaval.
To help the population and businesses stay afloat, the US government created a variety of stimulus payments for each state. Many states distributed tax refunds & stimulus checks in 2022 to help citizens deal with rising prices. A few are still working on it, though most have completed mailing money to taxpayers.
Middle-Class Tax Rebates
This month, the state of California completed disbursing its “middle-class tax rebates.” The $2 billion property tax relief program for New Jersey won’t even begin disbursing funds until the spring.
