The drama of inflation, which continues to make day-to-day life more expensive, comes with a Catch-22 situation that cannot be resolved.
The average person, and particularly low-income families, need financial assistance to cope with rising prices; however, a new round of stimulus payments would only make inflation worse by injecting more money into the economy. This would be the case even though the average person needs this assistance.
Despite early-year conversations, it has been abundantly evident for several months that the direct payments and extended tax credits that were available during the pandemic years are no longer available.
But some states are finding a happy medium by accepting stimulus monies that are much lower and targeted much more specifically.
Millions of people in the United States may be qualified to receive stimulus payments over the summer and fall of this year, depending on who they are and where they live.
Here is the information that you require.
There is now inactivity in Congress on a federal gas subsidy.
In March, several Democratic politicians put forth the idea of passing the Gas Rebate Act of 2022.
To assist taxpayers in coping with the ever-increasing expense of fuel, the act would provide qualified taxpayers with a monthly payment of one hundred dollars (the amount received would be determined by the taxpayer’s income) and an additional one hundred dollars (per qualifying dependant).
There is still a very long way to go.
For the legislation to be codified into law, it would need to make its way through Congress; yet, it has not even passed the initial stages of consideration at the committee level.

Aside from that, the only additional payments for the stimulus package are coming from the states listed below:
Colorado
Eligible Residents of Colorado will get checks for either $400 or $800, depending on their filing status; but, they could get even more money if the state ends up receiving more revenue than expected. The receipt of payments is still anticipated for later in the summer.
Delaware
One-time payments of up to $300 have been granted by the governor of Delaware for people who meet the requirements. By the 31st of May, the majority of funds had been dispersed.
If you didn’t receive one but think you could be qualified, check with the state’s Division of Revenue to see if you are indeed eligible.
Georgia
In May, refund cheques ranging from $250 to $500 were sent out to eligible residents of Georgia.
The amount you receive is determined by your filing status; residents who only live in the country for part of the year may qualify for a lower payment.
Hawaii
The state of Hawaii has given its approval for payments of $300 to be made to taxpayers earning up to $100,000 a year and their dependents. This means that a family of four may be eligible for up to $1,200 in payments.
Applicants must have an annual income of at least $100,000 to be considered for a reward of up to $100. Late in August, the state will start the processing of payments.
Idaho
Idaho Residents who meet the requirements for the rebate programme that the state of Idaho authorised in February will be eligible to receive either $75 or 12% of their state taxes for the year 2020. The payments started in March and will be made monthly through the end of 2022.
Indiana
The state government of Indiana has given its approval for a one-time payment of $125 to taxpayers who qualify for it, and $250 to married couples who file their taxes jointly.
The payments started back in May and are scheduled to carry on through the summer. By September 1st, the vast majority of residents will have received theirs.
Maine
There are around 858,000 residents in Maine who are entitled to receive one of the most generous stimulus cheques in the country, which is $850.
The first batch of checks will be issued in June, and further payments will be made in waves throughout the remainder of the year.
Minnesota
Frontline employees in Minnesota who meet the requirements will each receive up to $750. The dates for submission of applications are from June 8 through July 22.
The State of New Jersey
During the previous year, close to one million residents of New Jersey were given a one-time payment of up to $500 each.
Another round of $500 payments was proposed by the governor in March of this year. This time, the payments were intended for nonresident and resident aliens, as well as their spouses and dependents, who filed their tax returns using a taxpayer identification number rather than a Social Security number.
NM (New Mexico)
Residents who qualify can receive a maximum of $1,500 through three payments; taken together, these constitute the most generous stimulus package offered by any state.
In May, the first round got underway. The second set of checks will be distributed between June and August. The third is planned for July.
