$750 Stimulus Check Approved? These States Are Sending Out Money NOW!

So, you might’ve seen headlines buzzing about a new “$750 stimulus check” — and yeah, it sounds amazing, right? But before you start planning how to spend it, let’s get into the real story.

There isn’t one big federal check coming to everyone like we saw during the pandemic. BUT some states are stepping up and sending out their own payments to help folks out — especially with rent, groceries, and just how expensive life has gotten.

Here’s what’s actually happening in a few key states and how to find out if you’re getting a check.

Arizona: Up to $750 for Low-Income Families

Arizona’s going big with a program called the Cost of Living Assistance Fund, offering up to $750 to help low-income households keep up with rising costs.

• Who qualifies? Arizona residents who meet income limits.

• How to get it? You’ll need to apply by May 31, 2025 — it’s not automatic!

• Why it matters: That extra money can cover part of your rent, utilities, or even just help you stay afloat.

If this sounds like you, don’t wait — it’s first come, first served.

Georgia: One-Time Rebates Are On the Way

Georgia’s not doing $750, but they’re still helping. The state is sending out tax rebate checks:

• $500 for joint filers

• $375 for heads of household

• $250 for single filers

If you filed your 2023 and 2024 Georgia taxes, you’re probably good to go. The payments should start hitting bank accounts or mailboxes by late May or early June.

No need to apply — just double-check your filing status.

New York: $500 Checks for Families Who Claimed Tax Credits

New York is rolling out $500 emergency relief payments, but only for people who qualified for the Empire State Child Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit last year.

• Who gets it? If you filed your 2023 New York taxes and claimed those credits, you’re in.

• No application needed — checks are coming automatically this May.
