Eligible for a one-time inflation relief check from your state government?
We know that costs have been rising, and many could use additional support to pay rent, groceries, gas, and school supplies and keep up with the inflationary prices of daily necessities.
You may have heard about the Inflation Reduction Act that Congress recently passed, which will help people lower their bills. But did you know that your state government may also send you a one-time inflation relief check to help relieve some financial stress?
The following states across the country are starting to send these payments to qualifying residents: California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Tip #2: Find out from your state government if you can receive these payments by direct deposit. It’s the fastest and more secure way to receive money.
