New York Begins Mailing One-Time Inflation Rebate Checks to More Than 8 Million Households

Eligible residents do not need to apply because the state is using 2023 returns to issue checks.

Overview

  • Payments range from $150 to $400, determined by 2023 income and filing status such as $200 for single filers up to $75,000 and $400 for joint filers up to $150,000.
  • Mailings started at the end of September and will continue for several weeks into October and November, and delivery order is not based on ZIP code.
  • Checks are sent automatically to the address on the most recent state return, are issued only as physical checks by mail, and will not be applied to outstanding state debts.
  • Eligibility requires filing the IT-201 resident return for 2023, meeting income thresholds, not being claimed as a dependent, and living in New York for all of 2023.
  • Officials warn of scams impersonating tax agencies and requesting bank details, noting the state will not contact residents to collect information for this rebate.
