As relief from rising inflation, many US states decided to issue stimulus checks to support needy families. The practice continues for a few more, with payments of up to $1,500. Meet them here.
The US Recovery Plan was approved by members of the Democratic Party in 2021 as part of a bill to mitigate the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This program, along with other factors, caused inflation and general inequality that culminated in historic inflation levels in the United States. This fact influenced the decision of many states to send their own aid to residents from epidemic relief funds and tax revenues.
Now,some states are still sending hardship payments to families with stimulus checks of up to $1,500. Here we leave the list.
Maine
Maine is paying residents $450 to help with heating costs this winter and should reach 880,000 families. They started making checks in January and they expect all those eligible to receive the money in April.
The state tax commission has until September 30 to conduct additional checks, and the state itself will determine a person’s eligibility based on their tax returns.
Alaska
For more than 40 years, the Permanent Fund Dividend Program has allowed the Alaska government to share tax revenue from oil extraction with residents. The approved fee for this year’s applicant will be $3,284.
