If you feel the grocery store or gas station prices are more expensive, it might take some of the burden off your wallet. Legislation has been introduced (and in some cases passed) at both the federal and state levels to send rebates or stimulus checks directly to Americans.
Unlike previous pandemic relief efforts, however, these payments are more targeted and much smaller. This is not because the government has developed a habit of being mean. Instead, it’s more about helping Americans fend off rising prices without fueling inflation.
"البرامج التي تركز على قطاعات أو مجموعات محددة، مثل شيء مثل بطاقة الغاز أو الإنفاق على أساس عتبة الدخل، يمكن أن تساعد نظريًا في تخفيف بعض الألم المرتبط بأسعار سلع أو خدمات معينة ... بشكل عام لن يكون هناك أي تأثير على خلق الأسعار وقال أندرو باترسون، كبير الاقتصاديين الدوليين في فانجارد: "هناك الكثير من الضغوط".
Various governments, from the federal to the state level, are working to ease the burden on taxpayers in a world of rising prices.
$100 دفعة شهرية لعائدات الطاقة الفيدرالية
On March 17, Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), John Larson (D-CT), and Lauren Underwood (D-IL) introduced the Gas Kickback Act of 2022. In its early stages, the law would pay eligible taxpayers a $100 monthly energy rebate, with an additional $100 for each dependent.
Currently, the structure of payment eligibility is similar to previous stimulus payments. Married applicants filing jointly with an income of up to $150,000 and single applicants up to $75,000 are eligible for full payment and higher income exit tiers.
The bill must be passed by Congress before payments can begin.

Six states have passed legislation to provide tax breaks for their residents. Here’s how these payments work:
Georgia
Due to the historic state budget surplus, Georgia residents who filed 2020 and 2021 tax returns are eligible for a tax refund based on their tax return status:
- المتقدمون الأفراد: ما يصل إلى $250
- رب الأسرة: حتى $375
- الإيداع المشترك للمتزوجين: ما يصل إلى $500
تتوفر الخصومات أيضًا إذا كنت مستحقًا لضريبة الدخل الحكومية أو مدفوعات أخرى، مثل المقيمين دون السن القانونية.
Residents who filed taxes before Governor Brian Kemp signed the law into law will receive their tax refund in a separate payment.

Idaho
في فبراير، وقع حاكم أيداهو براد ليتل على تشريع لتزويد أيداهوس بتخفيضات ضريبية بقيمة $350 مليون. هناك معياران للأهلية:
- المقيمون بدوام كامل في أيداهو ويقدمون الإقرارات الضريبية لعامي 2020 و2021، أو
- عش بدوام كامل في أيداهو وتقدم بطلب لاسترداد قرض الطعام.
Payments begin in March. Each taxpayer will receive either $75 or 12% of their 2020 Idaho tax, whichever is greater (see Line 20 of Form 40 for the amount of tax you file). Rebates apply to every taxpayer and dependent.
ستقوم لجنة الضرائب أولاً بإصدار المبلغ المسترد لدافعي الضرائب الذين تلقوا استرداد الوديعة المباشرة، ثم ترسل شيك استرداد ورقيًا.
يمكن لسكان الولاية أيضًا التحقق من حالة الخصم الخاص بهم عبر الإنترنت.
Indiana
Like Georgia, Indiana will end 2021 with a healthy budget surplus. In December 2021, Gov. Eric Holcomb announced that Indiana taxpayers will receive a one-time $125 rebate after filing their 2021 taxes.
There is no income requirement. Residents must file a 2020 state tax return by January 3, 2022, and a 2021 Indiana state tax return by April 18, 2022 to be eligible. Payments begin in May and are expected to continue through midsummer, according to a national information site.
سيحصل دافعو الضرائب الذين يقدمون طلباتهم معًا على وديعة لمرة واحدة بقيمة $250.
يحصل معظم دافعي الضرائب على مبالغ مستردة إضافية من خلال الإيداع المباشر. إذا قمت بتغيير البنوك أو لم تقدم معلومات الإيداع المباشر، فسوف تتلقى شيكًا ورقيًا في أواخر الصيف.
Visit the State Department of Revenue website for more information. We will add more information for taxpayers who did not receive payment by September 1.
Maine
Gov. Janet Mills signed a supplemental budget on April 20 authorizing $850 in direct aid to Maine taxpayers. Eligible are full-time residents with a federally adjusted gross income of less than $100,000 ($150,000 if filing as a head of household, or $200,000 if filing together as a married couple). Couples filing together will receive relief checks totaling $1,700 per taxpayer.
Whether or not taxpayers owe state income tax, they are entitled to payment.

As West Coast natural gas prices soar, Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for gas rebates for Californians. While his detailed plan has been put on hold, Democrats in the state are proposing other ways to put money in Californians’ pockets, including $200 for every taxpayer with an adjusted annual income of less than $250,000. Families with children will also receive $200 per child.
هاواي
In January, Gov. David Iger proposed sending tax refunds to every taxpayer in Hawaii. Senate Bill 514 would provide a $300 rebate to taxpayers earning less than $100,000 a year and a $100 rebate to taxpayers earning more than $100,000 a year. There will also be a discount for each dependent. A 2021 tax return is required to qualify for the discount.
Hawaii lawmakers are expected to approve the measure in May.
Kansas
Governor Laura Kelly announced a one-time $250 tax rebate for Kansas residents filing 2020 state income tax returns ($500 for married couples filing jointly). Rebates to be paid from the state budget surplus are underway.

Governor Tim Walz proposed increasing the state’s $9.25 billion budget surplus, but his proposal did not factor into the tax cuts both parties proposed in April.
بنسلفانيا
The state’s tight gubernatorial race means Pennsylvania has several proposals to ease inflation by lowering the state’s gas tax from 57.6 cents a gallon. As the political race unfolds, incumbent Gov. Tom Wolf and several other Democratic governors have asked Congress to repeal the 18.4-cent-a-gallon state gas tax by the end of 2022.
Pennsylvania also has pending legislation that would provide up to $500 million in direct aid to help families fund expenses such as child care and household expenses.
Virginia
With a $2.6 billion budget surplus, Gov. Glenn Youngkin has pledged to put some of that money back into the pockets of Virginians. The state legislature has two bills aimed at reducing or eliminating the state’s 2.5 percent food tax. Additional legislation would suspend the state gas tax of 26.2 cents a gallon for a year.
What’s the next step in gas stimulation testing?
على الرغم من كل هذه السياسات والتشريعات المختلفة التي تم إقرارها، لا يزال الأمريكيون عالقين بين ما يحتاجون إليه وما يمكنهم تحمله.
While rebates and gasoline stimulus checks can help cushion the blow from higher prices, some are still wary of paying extra, especially given that previous pandemic relief programs are considered one of our current inflation-driven programs .
For some lawmakers, “inflation-related stimulus payments are just feeding the beast” and putting more money into places where the supply of commodities can’t keep up with demand, explained Dr. Jaime Peters, assistant dean and assistant professor of finance at Maryville University. market.
This poses a problem for families who don’t have the money to buy the commodities they need every day.
