As part of a state budget effort that will last until 2026, more than eight million citizens of New York State will receive one-time stimulus payments of up to $400.
This legislation, which was introduced by Governor Kathy Hochul, also returns $2 billion to taxpayers. The proposal also calls for free school meals and the extension of the child tax credit.
The goal of the effort is to lessen the impact of rising living expenses. Hochul said, “I promised to put more money in their pockets because the cost of living is still too high, and we did it.” Depending on their tax circumstances, individuals would get between $200 and $400, while married couples could receive up to $400.
When can we expect to receive the $400 stimulus check?
Hochul acknowledged the initiative, although he did not provide precise dates for payments.
The conditions were laid forth by the state Budget Division, but homeowners will have to wait for further information. 75% of filers will benefit from tax savings that coincide with the measure.
- Those who fulfil the following requirements are eligible:
- People who make less than $75,000 a year will get $200.
- $150 will be awarded to those who report earning between $75,000 and $150,000.
- Couples will receive $400 if their combined income is less than $150,000.
- Individuals earning between $150,000 and $300,000 will get $300.
- Priority is given to low- and middle-income households in the eligibility criteria.
Georgia tax refunds: prerequisites and procedures for submitting a $500 claim
Moving south to Georgia, the HB 112 measure, which Governor Brian Kemp signed on April 15, permits up to $500 in one-time refunds using excess money.
The objective of “giving money back to workers” was emphasised by Kemp. Tax returns for 2023–2024 must have been submitted by May 1st or October 15th with an extension.
The following individuals are and will be eligible for this stimulus payment:
- $250 will be awarded to married or single filers who file separately.
- Household leaders will get $375.
- Couples will receive $500 if they file jointly.
You must have had a tax obligation in 2023 in order to qualify. As long as they have fulfilled their tax obligations, non-residents or partial residents may also be eligible.
For questions, the Georgia Department of Revenue has an online portal (gtc.dor.ga.gov). You must provide your 2023 federal adjusted gross income, SSN, and ITIN.
The website only handles verifications from prior years at this time.

After approval, refunds will be given out in 6–8 weeks. The options are the same for the taxpayer: postal cheque or direct deposit. Beyond the timely declaration, no further steps are needed.
There are no federally approved nationwide stimulus programs outside of those state initiatives. Although the DOGE dividend stimulus payments have been discussed, there has been little progress on the plan to distribute $5,000 to qualified Americans.
Although Elon Musk, the secretary of DOGE, and President Donald Trump have stated that they will take the notion into consideration, no progress has been made at the Congress White House.
