People living in one of seven states can pocket some extra cash once payments go out before the end of the month.
The cash payments will be sent to anyone living in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Minnesota, and New Mexico. The range of these payments will be anywhere from $100 to $750, depending on the state.
Some people will receive their payments due to a budget surplus in their state, while others will be given the extra cash due to being foster families or front-line workers.
CNN PROFITS ON TRACK FOR LOWEST LEVEL IN YEARS AMID RATINGS CRASH: REPORT
Delaware
The state of Delaware began sending “relief rebate” payments of $300 to taxpayers who filed a return in 2020 due to a budget surplus.
The Delaware Department of Finance issued one-time payments of $300 to people who already filed their 2020 Delaware resident personal income taxes by the due date, and throughout the summer, payments have been made to adults who filed 2021 tax returns, the department stated.
Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced in July that 59,000 low-income families would qualify for one-time payments of $450 per child. The payments would be distributed through the Florida Department of Children and Families to residents who receive one of the following services through the department: temporary cash assistance, relative/nonrelative caregiver funds, or if they have an adoptive and/or foster child in their home, according to Newsweek.
Families who qualify for the payments do not have to apply to receive them, as they are automatically mailed out.
Georgia
Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation in May to give out rebate payments of $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of household, and $500 for those filing jointly. The Georgia Department of Revenue has been giving out these rebates since May, but the agency has been anticipating delays due to the number of refunds, the department stated.
The department planned to issue all the refunds by early August for returns filed by April 18. A filer will not have their refunds issued to them until their 2021 tax return has been processed.
Hawaii
People whose income was under $100,000 in 2021, or $200,000 for joint filers, will receive $300 tax rebates, and dependents are also eligible for the rebate. People making more than $100,000, or $200,000 for joint filers, will receive one-time $100 checks, according to the Hawaii Department of Taxation.
The payments will be mailed out as soon as late August.
Indiana
Indiana began sending $125 payments to all residents in May, regardless of their level of income. The payments are part of the state’s automatic taxpayer refund law, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Minnesota
Front-line workers who applied for a stimulus payment before July 22 could qualify to receive a one-time payment of $750. A worker must have worked at least 120 hours from March 15, 2020, to June 30, 2021, in one or more front-line jobs to qualify for the payment, according to CBS News.
New Mexico
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham approved a measure earlier in 2022 that would give people in the state who earn less than $75,000 a year a $250 rebate and a $500 rebate for everyone in the state. The $250 rebates were issued in July while the $500 rebates were sent in two payments, one in June and the other sometime this month.
