Stimulus checks came with the American Rescue Plan and all indications are that the United States will be sending them for a long time to come. This type of payment can be very beneficial to a large group of citizens. These types of benefits always reach the pockets of those most in need, which is why they are so truly useful.
Receiving a stimulus check means having extra money for once or for a while. There are some of these stimulus checks that a state gives out for 1 year, others for 3 years and more different options. Each state can send out money from these checks as they see fit.
Some stimulus checks are tax refunds. Others, on the other hand, are checks with extra money to help those most in need. In short, thousands of United States citizens may receive one of these direct payments for one reason or another.
While it is true that the United States federal government no longer sends stimulus checks, some States may send them. And in the case of New Mexico, Maine and California, the state government may send one of these checks to its citizens soon. The plan is there and we will see if the mailing will finally be implemented or not.
New Mexico, Maine and California stimulus checks
These three states in particular are planning to send out new stimulus checks during the remaining months of 2023. Each state has some major requirements it is handling in order to be able to send this extra money. This is not to say that all of these states will send the money for sure. There are still some elements that the state government itself has to review.
However, everything seems to indicate that finally we will have access to these new payments. In any case, we must watch out and not think that we will receive the money, because nothing is 100% certain yet.
New Mexico
This State is planning to send tax rebates throughout the remaining months of 2023. The first of these tax rebates is related to 2021 taxes. The amount could be $500 for couples and $250 for individual citizens.
On the other hand, a second stimulus check coming from the tax rebate could arrive for citizens. It all depends on our tax return. This second check could reach $1,000 for joint returns and $500 for individuals.
Maine
Maine citizens who have lived full-time in Maine could receive one of these checks. The program called “Winter energy Relief Payment” is for those who lived between the years 2021 and 2022.
The total amount of this stimulus check is $450 for individual citizens and $900 for citizens filing jointly.
California
As with the other stimulus checks, California plans to do a tax rebate. The so-called “Middle Class Tax Refunds” could arrive during the remaining months of 2023.
The payment for this check ranges from $200 to $1,050. The final amount depends on the taxes paid during 2020. If the check ultimately reaches citizens, they must have lived full-time in California for six months in 2020.
Any of these three checks will arrive equally for those who qualify, according to GoBankingRates. In addition, there are other stimulus checks that could come in other different states.
