New York State is set to mail out "inflation refund" checks to 8.2 million eligible tax filers starting in October, with amounts of up to $400 per recipient. The one-time checks are part of the $254 billion state budget passed in May and will be sent directly to recipients' homes. Eligibility is based on 2023 state income tax returns, with individuals earning up to $75,000 eligible for $200 checks and joint filers with incomes up to $150,000 eligible for $400 checks. The refunds aim to provide financial relief to New Yorkers amid rising inflation, with recipients encouraged to share how they plan to use the funds.
