State Begins Mailing 'Inflation' Checks

Over 920K in the Hudson Valley are eligible
More than 8 million New York state residents and 924,000 in the Hudson Valley will begin receiving "inflation refund" checks ranging from $150 to $400, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Friday (Sept. 25).
Automatic payments have started going out to people who filed taxes as a New York resident for 2023 and were not claimed by someone else as a dependent, said Hochul, with payouts continuing through November. "This is your money and we're putting it back in your pockets," she said.
The amount a person receives depends on filing status and income.
Joint filers with incomes up to $150,000 will receive $400.
Joint filers with incomes between $150,001 and $300,000 are eligible for $300 checks.
Single filers with incomes up to $75,000 will receive $200.
Single filers with incomes over $75,000 are eligible for $150.
