Whereas the federal stimulus cheques, which included six-monthly child tax credit payments in 2021, were broad-based and mailed to millions of Americans, the federal government is no longer sending them out. We’ve said before that when and whether somebody gets a new stimulus cheque is mostly a matter of chance. As a result, that person’s luck is determined by location – specifically, where they live.
Individual state governments are now starting their own stimulus checks or other taxpayer incentives. Relief checks and gas rebates are just a few examples.
Update on the Stimulus Check
Along similar lines, you’ll find a list of states considering or have already approved some form of these benefits. Taxpayers will receive stimulus tax rebates and additional state tax reductions, potential gas rebates, and more.
Another factor fueling part of this action is that during the Covid epidemic, states received billions of dollars in federal subsidies. This leaves them with cash in hand in some cases, and they must figure out what to do with it.
Another primary reason driving this is the federal government’s lack of interest in providing more stimulus funds.
States are listed below.
