New York state is set to begin sending its first-ever “inflation relief” rebate checks to taxpayers starting next week, part of a plan from Gov. Kathy Hochul to put a little cash back into pockets given cost of living increases.<\/p>\n

The one-time payments, which can be up to $400, initially were proposed to be up to $500, though the legislature-backed plan cuts that a bit. Amounts vary based on tax filing status. <\/p>\n

Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday that more than 8 million New Yorkers could expect to receive a check. <\/p>\n

The rebate checks, which Hochul indicated in December she was pursuing<\/a>, are intended to provide relief to New Yorkers who have paid increased sales taxes due to inflation. You’re eligible if you filed a New York tax return in 2023 and you don’t have to do anything at all. The state says you should automatically receive a check. <\/p>\n

Checks will be mailed over several weeks beginning in the fall of 2025. Think October, November timeline.<\/p>\n

When will I get my check?<\/p>\n

Payments start going out this fall, likely in October and November. The payments will go out to about 8.6 million people in the state.<\/p>\n

Your check may arrive earlier or later than your neighbors, as mailings are not based on zip code or region. The state says it cannot\u00a0provide a specific delivery schedule, its reps will not be able to provide additional status information.<\/p>\n

Who is paying for this?<\/p>\n

The program is funded by a pool of excess sales tax revenues that have been mostly generated through inflation’s effect on consumer goods, according to the governor’s office. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Consumer Price Index is one of the most widely used measures of inflation\u2014here\u2019s what it actually tracks and who it represents.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
