Only five weeks remain for Maine residents who wish to claim relief checks worth $850.
The relief checks, which are a part of a $1.2 billion supplemental budget signed off by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills in April, are receiving funding from a budget surplus and are intended to help relieve the burden resulting from rising prices in the state. Around 858,000 people are estimated to benefit from this payment.
Mills proposed returning money to state residents after Republicans suggested the action. The payment was initially labeled as pandemic relief but was later referred to as inflationary relief. To qualify for this payment, Maine residents must file their 2021 state income tax returns by Oct. 31 and be full-year residents of the state. Additionally, filers must not be filed as a dependent and must have an income that is under $100,000 if filing individually and under $200,000 if filing jointly, according to the governor's office.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Residents can expect to receive their checks from the Postal Service, which will send the checks to addresses listed on the 2021 Maine income tax returns.
