Inflation in the United States reached unprecedented levels in 2012. A number of government institutions approved sending stimulus checks or tax refunds as inflation relief for hard-working Americans in light of rising prices, particularly for basic goods.
Despite the recent decline in inflation, aid continues to be sent. Here are the states and amounts sending out checks or refunds in February.

Direct deposits started being issued at the end of August, but taxpayers who filed their 2021 state tax returns between July 31 and December 31, 2022, will receive direct deposits up to 10 weeks later.
